Louisville and Indiana announce a 3-game basketball series with beginning in 2016-17 in Indy and a 3-game football series starting in 2023.


Its disappointing we can't get anything done schedule wise with Louisville , yet IU and UL can get a 6 game bb/fb thing done

I'm sure it's related to the P5 wanting to schedule more or only P5 schools.

I agree about the rotating sites, but when you have a conference with such a large geographic footprint you pretty much have to keep it moving or risk alienating large portions of the conference. At least Memphis and Orlando have NBA arenas to play in, the XL Center in Hartford is a dump. Dallas or New Orleans 2018? (Orlando has the 2016 and 2017 tournaments locked up)

if we're going to be in the aac, let's not make it small time. it's going to suck for uconn no matter. but nashville seems a good compromise without broaching a fellow conference member's turf. i'm sure that ice arena can outfit other sports events

It does....its called the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament

*edit* although it does look like the SEC won't be there in 2018
