A great deal of comments have been made to the list about the
Selection Committee's pairings of teams to try to achieve the
best possible attendance.
 
I would like to suggest that if the concern is drawing high attendance,
then the NCAA should abandon its experiment with regional sites and consider
going back to campus sites for games prior to the Final Four.
 
It has never been completely clear why the NCAA abandoned campus
sites in the first place.  They seem to offer the advantage of lower
travel costs as well as potential full houses at most of the host sites.
