I'm well aware that some see a benefit in it. And, good for them. Hell, even if the only benefit is that they enjoy doing it, then that's great.

It's also true that I'd say the vast majority would rather not do it, and even some of the schools that opt to do it kind of do it reluctantly, especially if it's a school like...say...IUPUI, which is in Indianapolis, and who has administrative ties to both Indiana and Purdue, both of whom would like to play in Indianapolis, but not want to have to worry about any of that hosting nonsense. So, IUPUI is conveniently encouraged to bid. Have you also noticed that North Carolina, UNC Charlotte, UNC Grennsboro, and UNC Asheville all share the same Board of Trustees, and that Charlotte, UNCG, and UNCA are always bidding to host, yet UNC never does?? Well, at least they used to, but

I am in the reluctant category. No thank you. But, if someone else wants to do it, then great. They can knock themselves out.
