Weird they picked Ft. Worth since there is no team from there, but I like it. We will have a real good presence there.

Sounds like they wanted a neutral site. Personally I would have gone with Little Rock. For obvious reasons of course but it is also more centrally located. We have a very nice arena.

Don't like this.
Are they hoping to play the Pac-12 or MEAC tournament in Dallas.
It should be in the hometown of a member school -- preferably Dallas.

To get that you'd need competitive bids from member schools.

Why would anyone here not be happy with this?
Wasn't expecting FW at all as a site, but I think it's great.

I really don't get why people are complaining... like I get it's weird its in Cowtown, but would you rather it be in Memphis or Orlando or freaking Hartford every year or in Ft. Worth where we will have the best homecourt advantage of any team for three years?

I don't get the issue. I would rather it in Dallas and NOLA would be cool, but I doubt those venues were viable options price or schedule wise.
