“Would I want [the Big 12 Tournament] in Vegas? 100%. I didn’t ask to be in the Big 12. We got put in the Big 12. But I love the Big 12.” -Tommy Lloyd

@Peachy202494611 They tried it in other locations and it was terrible. None of them came close to doing it as well as KC.

If the #Big12MBB tournament wasn’t in Kansas City what city would you want it in? #Big12 #NCAAM #MarchMadness

@diegosundevil @JDrier @Heartland_CS Ever look at a map of the USA, and plot the locations of the members? Then plot where the geographical center of the conference is? My guess geography is not your strong subject.

@JDrier @Heartland_CS Because the conference has expanded geographically. Best conference tournament is a subjective argument. I’d Iove to go to KC, but not every single year.

@forsythdanoh @ISU_Clone2020 Then go back if it is so great out west.KC is about as central to the conference it can get. Putting it out west is worst for those in the east, putting it east is worst for those west. Not to mention KC absolutely knocks it out of the park with this tourney, you'd know if you go

@ISU_Clone2020 OK, I do a little bit more digging and in a practical sense, there is no Pac 12 until next year. There is a “pac2” with Oregon State and Washington State.

@NHL Would love to be a Hockey fan but the NHL like the @MLB thinks Iowa doesnt need to see hockey. Every team within 2 states is blacked out. So no one ever gets a chance to actually become fans. Blackout rules are absolutely stupid. Especially when so many are blacked out!

@CodyC64 College sports are broken... said by a guy that is actively breaking College sports. You buying players is everything that is wrong with college sports.

College Sports are broken, and those who first made the mess and profit handsomely from the status quo do not want to fix it. Without meaningful change, opportunities for thousands and thousands of talented student athletes will disappear and women’s and Olympics sports programs will be canceled. A disjointed and disorganized revenue generation system is the root cause, and everybody in college sports knows it - including many members of the Big 10 and SEC, who have recently reported staggering and unsustainable athletic deficits and debts. Ironically, at least one of these two commissioners, who argue that the status quo is “just fine”, have simultaneously pursued onerous private equity and debt deals to paper over the overwhelming deficits many of their member institutions face. The situation is even more dire in the lower-revenue conferences, as is well known. Our primary objective is to provide athletic programs, both big and small, the tools they need to achieve financial sustainability and preserve all of their programs, scholarships, and roster spots. We want to grow the financial pie, and make it work for everybody - doing so in a way that doesn’t not punish or take revenue away from the “big boys”. Not only is this the right thing to do, it is also consistent with the President’s “Saving College Sports” Executive Order, that was issued last summer. The posture of these two commissioners indicates that they do not care about the fate of the other conferences or smaller schools, nor do they care about the life-changing opportunity provided to women and to athletes in our Olympic sports. It seems they have chosen to disregard the directives of the President and the will of the American people. Change is difficult, I get that, especially when it means dismantling a long-held, broken, backwards system. My sincere hope is that, instead of throwing up roadblocks to our congressional momentum, we can work together on solutions that put the student athletes first and preserves the viability of the great American institution of college sports.
