I know the host site was IUPUI...and that is only because I was there and looked.
There was another one. The Horizon League was the co-host.

I find the following to be ironic. I can actually name the locations and the hosts in any given year, yet I find the only real benefit to hosting is to satisfy a school's or AD's sense of Gatsby-ism. And, well, look what happened to him. I also know what all goes into hosting an event.

Yet everyone else who talks about how great it is to host these events because of the publicity that comes along with it probably can't even name half the locations or even two or three of the hosts.

MAYBE there is something to be said about the hotels, but as far as the bars and restaurants, I think the closest NCAA Tournament game to the city I live in was seven hours away. Yet, all of the bars and restaurants were jammed.
