There is no such thing as a purely neutral site...even if you have the tourney at OU or the Myriad, it is still an "unfair" advantage to the Texas teams.

There is no doubt that the host team is going to benefit from having the tourney at home. And it's easy to cry "unfair" when your team loses (believe me, I know, we lost the year LCU won it at home) but the fact remains that we could have won and so could have the other teams this year...I think having the tourney at home sites adds parody to the SAC drama, as long as each school gets to host it at sometime.

I'm all for nuetral sites. Usually it hasn't mattered all that much since we had a tourney bid locked up before the SAC tournament, but if you're fighting for your tournament life, I definitely would not want to be heading to Lubbock or John Brown. We got lucky that we were pegged as the hosts for this year. OCU wasn't as big of a deal because they have no home court advantage to speak of.
