Why can they not create a bracket where the title series is Friday-Sunday?

Seems so much more logical to ramp up attendance.

It's the NCAA, you cannot expect anything to make sense

TV $ ratings >>>> attendance

Same reason why they play all major sporting events on week nights (besides super bowl Sunday)

Attendance doesnt matter anymore in sports when are some of you going to understand that? It's all about tv now. They understand you will have a better chance of getting people to watch on a Monday through Wednesday night over a Friday night and Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Tv drives everything. I know this is new technology and all but just soon finally get used to it.

Now this is true, but I cannot think of any sport where the title is played for a) multiple nights and b) played on neutral ground. I consider it vastly different for pro sports where they play at home and traveling is less an issue or other sports where the title is a one night event.

Attendance? It's going to sell out anyway.

That is not realistic to keep the teams here that long. However, I could see it being Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

I really don't understand why they can't start this series on Friday, giving everyone a chance to rest and prepare, and as you say, bring more attendance to the game.
