was my point.

I'm also not gonna dismiss the idea that a three year contract doesn't have an outside chance for another venue, especially a destination attraction/resort like the Mohegan Sun. It will be interesting to see if they bid, or did bid, (sorry don't recall the timeline) just how they plan to market the tournament as part of their destination attractions and what they might want to co-promote with the tournament. It probably also means that they think there is an reachable untapped market for the tournament outside of MAAC fans, since I'm sure they already know what the attendance history of the tournament outside of Albany has been.

The one and done is rotation was not fair (there is that word again) to the other venues, and while it might not make a bit of difference in the case of the HSBC, SBA or some other city or region whose residence have better things to do than spend their entertainment dollars on a middling level basketball tournament, maybe it can catch on in a destination setting like the Sun.

I can't imagine why the MAAC wouldn't want to find another place in addition to the TUC where they could turn a profit regardless of whether the $ are ponied up by basketball fans, Gamblers, the curious or any combination of the former.

JMHO
