I would obviously be disappointed, but the university never expected to be in this position and now has a conflicting contractual obligation. Is what it is, unfortunately.

I thought this was an inappropriate joke from the thread title, can’t believe it’s real.

More people will attend the Special Olympics than an Indiana St. Super Regional. And about moving it, that school probably doesn't want to lose more money on the season.

Why wouldn’t they host at another field close to home that has enough hotel availability to meet requirements but still keep home field advantage?



Unless something has changed, that’s not how it works. Top 16 seeds host Regionals with the top 8 guaranteed to host a Super if they advance. Other schools have to bid to host a Super in the event a top 8 school gets eliminated.

It’s possible they could have put in a bid for a different location, but they would have had to negotiate all of those logistics before knowing they were going to be host team to begin with.

That is just awful for that IS team!

They surely must have known about the potential conflict ahead of time.....bottom line: they did not think their team would win! Only logical explanation?

Somebody should be fired up there!
