Re: Host sites

My answer was based on bad math. Don't ask me why, but I was putting
four teams with seeds 1-4 in each venue for the first weekend instead
of two. Duh.

Miami seems to be pretty far from any campus of a team liable to get 1-
4 seeds, but much more likely to get ACC team(s) or SEC team(s) (if any
qualify) than to put ACC clubs in Big East country. IMO, FWIW, which is
nothing.

Of course, last year I attended games in Tampa on the first weekend
where the high seed teams were UConn and Vanderbilt (both 4s). At
least Nashville was only about a ten hour drive from the venue, so it's
not like the committee can afford to keep everyone close to home when
the venues are in distant corners of the country.

What "country" you're in is not relevant. Placement decisions are based solely on distance to the site. Wake is about 300 miles closer to Philly than Miami,...
