@HollyAnderson@briancrice Recruiting. I would have far fewer reservations if she had been an assistant at a school in a P5 league. Experienced the current realities.
That being said, she could knock it out of the park. I'm not amongst the "it will take her years to recruit well" crowd.
@primetimeMitch Counterargument: The situation in Spokane.
Compromise: Let the conferences host. As close as you can get to the current system while predetermining the sites.
@its_whitney The issue with the Utah and UC Irvine teams could have been avoided with better logistics. Spokane shouldn't be hosting the men and women's tournament along with another youth event simultaneously. As Beyonce said, this ain't Texas.
@its_whitney Officiating is bad across every sport as it is. Let's not bake home cooking into that for the first two rounds. Less chalk is more fun.
Also, in theory, teams at the top of the bracket are already being rewarded by playing lower seeds.
