It just is.

Approaching the situation objectively, this screams for tossing tradition in that respect aside, and hosting an East tourney and a West tourney, and then having a championship game at the home arena of the higher rated champion a few days following the the division tournaments. Assured opportunity for larger crowds from each school, and optimizes the chances for the team most deserving by granting a home court advantage. Downside is that you have two tournament venues running simultaneously.

Problem with that is uneven power between divisions. Top three projected all reside in the east this year. I like home venues for higher seeds but scheduling and travel might be an issue.
