Probably would have been a pretty nice deal for The American.

FRISCO, Texas -- Conference USA will play its men's and women's postseason basketball tournaments at the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters the next two years.

The 14-team league announced Tuesday that its 2018 and 2019 tournaments will be hosted at Ford Center, a 12,000-seat indoor stadium that is part of The Star, a 91-acre complex worth more than $1 billion where the NFL's Cowboys have their headquarters and a practice facility.

Those C-USA tournaments next March, with 11 men's and 11 women's games, will be the first major collegiate events planned at the complex in Frisco, north of downtown Dallas.

literally anywhere besides Hartford please

Should be great for UNT fans. LaTech and UTEP will show up too. Should be pretty sparsely attended. Maybe meant as a marketing ploy to help with recruiting athletes? Is Jerry currently giving discounts to host games there to spark interest?

Jerry doesn't know the meaning of discount.

Cowboys are looking for events to get people up at the complex spending $$$. This is actually a pretty good idea for both sides, IMO.

This is not a venue for a league that views itself as a major basketball conference, and the AAC does. The Star, as most things with the Cowboys, is a bit. C-USA will market this as a chance to come see the Cowboys practice facility. Oh, and you can also watch some basketball.

We are a conference full of prime hosting cities - NOLA, Memphis, Philly, Orlando, Dallas and Houston. The AAC conference tourney should be about basketball, and it should be in one of our conference's great b-ball cities.

Too bad it's a money pit.
