Neutral Site Tourney Looks Dead

Skippy

Doug Fullerton told the Bozeman Chronicle he is absolutely opposed to a neutral site basketball tournament. The Big Sky ADs just finished their meetings and the league issued a news release (which can be found at BigSkyconference.com) which says, in essence, no final decisions have been made on any of the scheduling issues or championship determination questions (football or basketball) facing the league next year. Here's a link to Fullerton's conversation with the Chronicle:

The good news about basketball expansion is that BSC teams will get more home games -- Fullerton is suggesting a full, 20-game conference slate after expansion, so ISU's men's and women's teams will get more attractive D-1 games in the future.
 
A neutral site like Vegas won't work in the BSC, quite frankly, most of us don't have the money to go to someplace like Vegas to watch a conference tourney --even if it was SLC, I could see attendance at 1,000 or less for most games.
