In 2022, the event saw a complete sell-out with over 13,000 fans filling the stands...

So... the Super Pit isn't large enough? 🤔

Probably had more to do with parking and hotel issues for visitors.

Not a cool as when we hosted the NCAA in the Super Pit..... but, okay.  Whatever. 

Given that TCU is located a couple miles away this reflects very positively on our Athletic Department. UTA is also much closer to the Arena.  I call it a win.

Could have something to do with affiliations with AAC?

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why is not TCU hosting this event? Anyone have a clue? I mean we play no men's sporting events in Ft. Worth that I am aware of.

From Google:

The NCAA selects host schools for the basketball tournament based on several factors, including:
  • Regional ranking: Schools with higher regional rankings are more likely to be selected as hosts 
  • Geography: The location of the school in relation to other teams 
  • Facilities: The quality of the school's facilities 
  • Attendance history: The school's history of attendance 
  • Revenue potential: The school's potential for generating revenue 
  • Willingness to host: The school's interest in hosting the event 
  • Travel costs: The committee may consider schools that are closer to other teams in the pod to reduce travel costs 
The NCAA also considers the ability to create a great experience for student-athletes. This includes providing ample lodging, ensuring the location is easy to travel to, and adhering to NCAA principles for safety and respect. 
 
The NCAA selection committees also build the brackets and decide which schools will host each weekend.

I can only assume that our history of attendance pushed UNT to the top.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
