Maybe if the league's HQ was in Charlotte, Nashville, Louisville, Atlanta, etc. the schools that actually care about basketball could have a relevant tourney close to fans.

But the league's HQ is in the Metroplex, so it'll always be in the Metroplex I guess. Still better than Hot Springs, Arkansas lol.

The location of the HQ is not relevant. The cities you list have chosen not to outbid Frisco.

Why was Frisco even an option in the first dang place? Because there are Texas schools in the conference and our HQ is in Texas. It's completely relevant.

I’ll agree the geography of C-USA is a total mess. But the Dallas metroplex is central to to the West, easy to fly to, and likely home to many C-USA alumni including UTEP (one of our traditional basketball programs). Charlotte seems a reasonable eastern alternate but they have not submitted a winning bid.

True. Fair assessment, it is indeed geography’s fault :/
