If not MSG...

Exactly Alex!

And if not MSG...I guess Barclay's. But I think a tropical venue would be better. Make your conference tournament a destination, like the non-con tourneys in November. What's wrong with Atlantis? It will be a destination that gets players, recruits, and boosters excited.

And...2000 fans can attend? I get where you are going with that..but no thanks.

Isn't the A-10 locked into the Barclay's for their tournament? Need to keep MSG. It would make me sick to see the ACC tournament there.

[MUBB713]

I would guess that the A10 tournament is as locked into the Barclays as the big east is locked into MSG.

Why not do the united center?

Could we get the UC? The B1G plays their tournament either there or Conseco (or Bankers Life, or whatever it's called now) every year. Not sure the UC would want to sever their partnership with the biggest conference in the Midwest. Though I love the idea of the UC especially if we extend to Creighton and Gonzaga, as it would be far more central to the entire league than NYC would be (though MSG is still first choice).

This, and I am starting to prefer Barclays as a fresh start.

Why would the A-10 allow Barclays to get out of their contract with them for the A-10 tourney, especially if the new conference pilfers their league? No way on Barclays I would think. That would be like the Big East, after losing top schools to the ACC, agreeing to move out of the Garden so the ACC can host their tourney there.

Need to get a long term deal with the garden if the remaining Big East schools don't keep it.

You mean why would Barclays try to get out of their arrangement with the A-10? More $$$$
