Well, I am a very big conspiracy theorist when it comes to this. Look at the recent selections of UCLA and Syracuse. Neither one at all belonged in the NCAAT.

In fact, cities that go all out trying to earn the accolade of being a host city could end up losing money.

“The economic impact for host cities for the year the event is hosted is on average small and negative for the NCAA Men’s Final Four…The sum of the evidence indicates that cities ought to exercise restraint in undertaking public spending to host the NCAA Final Four,” said Victor Matheson and Robert Baade, who worked on the study.
