Giving the host team a bye would probably not fly because they're the prime
reason for attendance.  If they're off the first night, people may not show
up.
 
I also can't see a "5v4" type of game involving OSU and one of the others
because who's going to want to play three games in the tourney?  Any way I
look at it, it doesn't seem possible to add OSU to the tourney without
asking one of the others to sit out that year.
