[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 1378012, member: 9229"] I guess my willingness to put the tourney in Indy has more to do with it be a central, easy to get to destination in the Big Ten territory. So here's a hypothetical. If there were to be, say, a Purdue-MSU B1G championship game, if you got the entirety of their alumni bases in NY (according to these numbers), it wouldn't even fill up half of the Garden. So I really think these games have to be attended by people coming in from out of town. I would say that the schools that fall within reasonable driving distance to the respective locations are: Chicago: IL, IO, NW, WI, MI, MSU, IU, PU, OSU, MN Indy: IU, PU, IL, NW, OSU, MI, MSU, WI, (maybe IO) NY: RU, MD, PSU You could maybe sway me into saying ever fifth year we rotate to another B1G city, but I would still think that the location needs to be within driving distance of at least 4-5 schools.
