Yes. I'm sure they bid high on it. Probably won't draw well though.

They didn't draw well in Hartford, either. Except, of course when the Huskies were on the court.

At first glance it is an odd choice. But when you factor the proximity to the other schools it really is somewhat logical. SMU, Houston, Tulsa and Tulane are all a lot closer to DFW than Hartford. And Fort Worth is pretty easy to get to if you're flying in.

GASP !!!! you left out Wichita State...(not to be confused, with Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman )

Only 5.5hr drive from Wichita. Honestly of the big bball schools in AAC Wichita is the only that will travel even in mediocre seasons, they've packed STL for years. I would've rather Memphis but this seems to work.

OOPS! My (former) Father in law would be Shocked!

Guarantee must be incredible and no one gets a home court advantage. Too bad it's not Biloxi. I didn't much enjoy the downtime in Omaha either but the games themselves sure were fun.

It seems like SMU would have a home court advantage if they are good in any of those years.

If Tulane had any season ticket base New Orleans would be a no brainer.

Has there been even one AAC championship in New Orleans (or even scheduled for New Orleans) since we joined?

[DfromCT]

Have we given the AAC reason to award Tulane being the host city?

I don't like Memphis hosting basketball championships. They've had that home court advantage dating back to the days of the Metro Conference. And Dana Kirk still sucks!
