So let me say it this way. If Bama, OU, Texas whatever other real big historic name was in the same place, then the "Committee" would have bent over backwards to work it out, waiving the time/distance travel or even the game times to work around the graduation. But we were neither a #1 seed nor a historic national name so the NCAA was not going to make the kind of effort I described. We made it an easy work around because we were in the 15 to 20 range and are not a historic national name. And I am pretty sure you are incorrect about "no other school has this hotel issue." My guess is there are a lot that could face this problem. Especially those within geographic areas like we are AND have a much bigger event already scheduled. And I will make one more guess. If you think an AD, any AD especially at a non blueblood could handle this and deliver a host bid to their school, then I think you will be disappointed in our next AD and the next and so on.
