The Big East is shuting it down (For Fall Sports)

Why not a more central location? Omaha is the faaaaaar western tip of the conference. Does Omaha have a locale with courts, hotels, etc in proximity to one another?

Forget the conference bubble nonsense. Jus stay in your state and play round robins with 4-6 other teams. X, Butler, DePaul, Villanova all have states with at least 5 other d1 programs. In northeast, I am confident everyone is within 1 hour drives.

Maybe Omaha has fewer cases of COVID-19 compared to Cincinnati, Indy, Philadelphia, DC, NYC, etc.?

It's the closest city to Wichita.

The more I read about cases having permanent effects (loss of smell, lung and heart function). I have become convinced its best to just cancel until next season. Vaccine will be out and readily available by then and the world can move on from this awful mess.

Kansas City would like to fight you.

Edit:

It's the closest BE city to Wichita.

I hear Jack Straw lives there.

Omaha has the facilities to pull this off. I believe they used to host the MVC tourney. If you can host a conference tourney you can create a bubble. I'm coming to grips with the possibility of no fans at Cintas this year. Even if we have fans this year, I'm not sure that I would attend....

The MVC Tournament has been in St. Louis for quite some time. Thus, Arch Madness.
