That new arena is a perfect size to host, but you have to get someone like TCU to serve as the host member.
UT-Arlington and North Texas are also available as hosts.
Also, the Big 12 can host, as they did with the Final Four in Arlington. The Big 12 stepped in to host in Oklahoma City in place of OU, so that OU would be eligible to play there. Likewise, they have hosted in Kansas City, allowing Kansas to be eligible to play there.
