RE: MAC Tournament
I think they need to move the Women's tournament to Toledo as they discussed and return the Monday games to the Q.

Based on the two times they brought all 12 teams to Cleveland I don't think bringing Mondays games to the Q would help. Most fans can't spend a whole week in Cleveland and I can't see many traveling for one day to see 5-12 seeds play.
Toledo for the women's tournament always makes some sense but the BG women's fans might have been the biggest group of fans in Cleveland ( other than Akron of course) so this year having the women's tournament probably helped the city. Those people were everywhere Thursday and Friday.

RE: MAC Tournament
Seems to me that the best chance for larger crowds is to have both Men and Women at the same venue. Per chance that a school has both their women and men team in the tourney, some may justify the trip to see both teams play. BTW, even though we had no team at the Q, I went with a buddy on Friday, going early for lunch at Slyman's, 2 hours at the Horseshoe Casino, 1 hour at the Tilted Quilt for scenery, and then the evening for 2 great BB games. That is a good day. The MAC needs to get more locals out for the game by hook or crook. There are far too few BB fans in the MAC footprint. The product is good and getting better.

Time Warner Cable Channel does most of the advertising. And unless the good guys are on Time Warner Cable.....Well, Reghi can get me to tune in now and then. So unless MAC hoops is on TWC I am not likely to tune in.
