Taking a look at a summary of last year's event.
http://articles.philly.com/2011-03-21/sp...division/2
And looking that next year is in Des Moines. This morning I figured it would be in Okla soon...and sure enough 2014 is scheduled there. I understand rewarding IA and OK for their consistency w/ the sport. But, it needs to move around a bit more.
Cleveland makes a lot of sense. Ohio has 3 Div IA programs. Cleveland is nearby the eastern schools, especially Pitt, PSU and Buffalo, while not being completely E Coast for the big midwest and western contingents.
It was a big score for Philly tourism. It would be good for Cleveland and the MAC could leverage the exposure.
