"RT @Mark_Travis: No joke, there are 10 people at the Staples Center for the Pac-12 tournament right now."

Larry Scott is an absolute magician.

That is pure BS. I am watching it on Root right now. There is at least 200 people in the stands.

I doubt the C-TBA will keep the Tourney in Vegas. They'll either move it somewhere central like Texas or rotate it east/central/west

With the flights cheap to Vegas everyone can get there and it is geographically ideal with two in state schools. It should be one of the best tourneys in the country and will help the TV package with primetime time slots in every time zone.

Flights into Vegas "use to be cheap"...but that's changed a lot over the past few years.

One can fly pretty cheap from California airports into Vegas...but most other rates have gone up quite a bit vs what they were like 5-10 years ago.

Plus, in Springtime, rates for flights/hotels weekends aren't that cheap as Vegas gets packed (Spring Break, NASCAR races, Conventions).
