Pete Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Between Hinkle, Bankers Life Fieldhouse and Indiana Farmers Coliseum that's three biggish arenas just in Indy, to speak nothing of Lucas Oil Stadium which I imagine could run 3-4 games simultaneously. You also have IU and Purdue roughly an hour away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Ha! There’s a reason saying someone’s a Cat’s fan is shorthand for “racist”* around here. *I know many, many UK fans personally who are decidedly NOT racist in the slightest. It’s just that the team’s fans tend to skew more rural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mistake, he's very pro-BLM and anti-MAGA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Central Arkansas (Southland), Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State (both Ohio Valley Conference) will jump to the ASUN effective July 1. EKU getting raided is the big surprise there since the Colonels were one of the OVC founding schools in 1948. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKU getting raided is the big surprise there since the Colonels were one of the OVC founding schools in 1948. This is a strange move. It's a football move for Central Arkansas, with the rest of the good Southland Conference teams going to the WAC, but this only gets the A-SUN to five football playing schools, which is not enough to get an automatic playoff bid.

RIPPA Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The article Pete linked all but says that its a football move (as like 85% breaks down the different football related ramifications). They are searching for another football member and could possibly (in the short term) partner with the Big South to allow their current teams to be FCS playoff eligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 On 12/14/2020 at 1:52 PM, Pete said: In postseason news, the NCAA is set to run the entire womens' tournament on one site, most likely San Antonio since they were already set to host the Final Four in 2021. UTSA and Incarnate Word would be the main hosts, which makes me wonder if they might try hosting simultaneous games at the Alamodome... you'd think they could pull off 4 games at once provided they have a unique horn system for each game. Host venues: Alamodome (two-court setup) UTSA Convocation Center Bill Greehey Arena (St. Mary's, D-II school in San Antonio) UT Frank Erwin Center Texas State University Events Center Everything is smack-dab on the I-35 corridor, which means barring traffic it shouldn't be more than a 90 minute drive from San Antone to the outlier in Austin.
