Will see how that picks up traction as well.

Either that or you're going to see high school basketball on steroids soon with 3 games a week and potentially going Friday/Saturday to squeeze in games.

A lot of people don’t start paying attention to basketball until conference play.

Under this concept, the host team would invite one team from its conference and two teams from each of nine other conferences, for a total of 20 teams. Then, the teams would be split into two ten-team divisions consisting of one team from each conference. Each team would play up to eight OOC games. All games would be played at the host school during the first three weeks of December. Some accommodation may have to be made for schools with finals in December, but given the NBA's and NHL's success with the bubble concept, it may be doable. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

How much did it cost to send our team to St Bonnie, Iona, Villanova, and Myrtle Beach (four or five days) last year? Or to Jamaica (three to five days), Xavier, Detroit and Purdue the year before? Remember, a team would be taking a bus or plane to and back just once, so transportation costs would be less than a regular OOC schedule. Host schools likely would provide some dorm rooms and some meals. I'm not saying this would work for all schools, but it could work for some. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

If you can get buy-in from a local city along with ESPN or some cable company to cover the events, it makes a venture potentially worthwhile.

Actually am trying right now up this way to work with a few schools to host one in Toledo for over X-Mas break. Probably won't happen, but it's a good exercise since our business is slow until next June tbh.

That would likely kill the First Four games at Dayton and maybe the eight first/second round sites. It seems likely they would try for 16-18 teams at each regional site, with games played over a week or 10-day period. It would be easier logistically to have bubbles in just the four regional cities (Denver, Minneapolis, Brooklyn and Memphis). Also, the NCAA is looking to have a decision in mid-September regarding the start of the 20-21 season. https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2020-08-... We will get by. We will get by.

I think this is the most likely scenario based on what we know now and when decisions need to be made in order to be able to host a safe tournament. What do you think about a one-year expansion of number of teams? I can see a 96 team tournament without an NIT. That would allow four pods of 24 teams each. Top eight in each pod would have a bye. The remaining 16 teams play a round with winners advancing. Assuming there are no conference tournaments, the auto bid goes to the regular season winner and a committee selects the rest of the teams.

Instead, they more likely would try to placate some of the first/second round sites, and maybe Dayton, by having an NIT with two pods of 16 or four pods of eight, with the final four playing in NYC.
