Not sure why you think I would take that as you being a smartass.
Virtually none. Dayton, NC State, and I think one other one but I forget which, were the only venues that were actually on a campus. The NCAA seems to like it in NBA/NHL arenas. Other places like Louisville, Kentucky, Marquette, etc that will be hosting in their home arenas, but they also do not play in on campus arenas. If I'm not mistaken Rupp Arena isn't actually on Kentucky's campus either.
I think I said this earlier, but I think that had more to do with why UD didn't get a Round of 64/32 site than the First Four did.
