The cities should force the NCAA to submit the “rap sheets” of all of the players who would be coming into their town to play.
Ask yourself this....if they really did this gimmick, and you picked up the top 100 urbanized communities of the US...coast to coast....how many cities would fail this test and not be eligible for the NCAA games? Maybe fifty to sixty percent? All they are doing is creating a fake bubble to ensure certain communities will always get the games and certain cities will never get the games.
Good idea.
Brilliant! I know my town would be very distressed if a bunch of basketballers showed up...
Here in NJ years ago shore towns were playing “hot potato” with a week-long event of black fraternities; nobody wanted them, and I believe they eventually settled on blighted Asbury Park as their venue.
Virginia Beach had it for a while.
Was that the same group? I wasn’t aware that it was a national event (thought it was for NJ schools, but never looked at the details).
Yes, it was a national convention.
Thanks for the info; why would they hold a national convention so far north? I’d think it would be much more accessible in states further south; I hope someone shares that tidbit of information with them...
