Agree. The committee’s ranking doesn’t matter if we had zero shot anyway.

This basically says we could have been the TOP seeded team in the country but we still would not host because of the hotel issue. This is on Whit and the VT admin. NO other school has this hotel issue. It makes us the laughing stock of the P4 to not be able to figure this out.

Long story, but graduation should be (and used to be) BEFORE regionals
