NCAA Tournament Headed For One Location; Indianapolis Early Favorite

It appears that the 2021 NCAA Tournament is headed for Indianapolis. All of it.

I'm assuming they are going to use multiple gyms as I can't imagine they are going to bring 68 teams and play all the games on one court. Shit, I have no fucking idea how this is going to work unless you set up multiple courts at one location, no fans and run it like a rinky-dink AAU tourney. If they do the bright side is that the refs they pull out of the stands because they don't have enough would have to be better than who typically call the games (looking at you Virginia).
 
please, no Lucas Oil. If there are no fans, there's no reason for football field basketball.

They could probably set up 4 different courts in a football field.



They should probably go the NHL route, two bubbles until they reach either the sweet 16 or elite 8.
 
Could probably do it outside in Florida or California. Could even allow fans. Just call it a protest.

I think they'll have to.

Two courts at Lucas, one at Bankers Life and one at Hinkle.

It was good enough for Jimmy Chitwood. And it's only 6 miles away.

It's self imposed and after we will be free and clear.

We self imposed a recruiting ban 3 years ago, the Fed case is over and this will be the last hurdle from the Chuck Person issue.

I'm sure they are announcing this now because Alabama got their sanctions earlier in the week and this is the Auburn vs Alabama game week.

We are rebuilding and this will give Pearl the freedom to play a 10 to 11 man rotation and get serious playing experience for a ton of young players. It's going to be a fun year regardless.

I certainly understand why they did it. Rebuilding roster, uncertainty surrounding the season overall. With that said, the ncaa can still give them a ban for 2022.

Auburn uses Lightfoot, Franklin and White as their attorneys and they are one of two firms that are the best when dealing with the NCAA. Auburn wouldn't be making this announcement if they didn't have an agreement in place.

Vegas doesn't have a deal with the NCAA for the 2021 tourney. Indy does.

They are scheduled to host a regional in 2023. First time Vegas will ever host a tourney game.

Is that at Tmobile, or the Big AL?

TMobile.

Also gets the 2026 Frozen Four.

Bet Big Al gets a Final Four soonish. They're all schedule thru 2026, but Phoenix gets it in 2024. First time they'll host that I can remember.

It's been a ten city/football stadium rotation the last two decades.
