Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....

Honestly, why cant the IBA host the tourney? It's 3 hours away from 4 of the 8 remaining schools, which is more than Dallas can say.  Maybe a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) point, but it's a brand new arena in a fairly central location.

Consider me among those who would be shocked beyond belief if Wichita Kansas got the Big 12 tournament.

Oh I'd absolutely be shocked.  I'm just saying it should be in the running (and I am by no means a wichita homer)

15k seating for basketball is perfect for Big 12-4 tournament.

This is probably MO finishing what OK started before the Pac12 mumped it up.

OK came back and tried to play it off as they wanted to stay the whole time and now everyone has to play by their rules.  MU calls bullshit.

Missouri is playing hardball, and they are much more likely to leave.

Basically, they have the leverage OU never had.

what leverage does mizzou have that OU didn't? The big 12 is more stable now.

This is a bluff.

It's a line in a sand.

but does texas care?  what's mu going to do? leave...and then get replaced by UL or WVU...and UT still keeps the LHN w/ HS highlights (until the ncaa says it can't).  nobody, sans ksu/ku and the city of kansas city,  cares about mu leaving.

Exactly.

AND, if MU leaves, Texas just keeps on doing what MU objects to...WHILE MU plays once every other year against a Texas school (they are already saying MU would be in the East, away from aTm).

If we're not going to have the tournament in Dallas at the center, then it should be in OKC or KC.

GOMF with this Wichita bullshit. (no offense trim, etc.)

AA center is absolutely terrible for the B12 tourney. Just completely crap tier. I'll be the first to admit that the state of Texas should not host the conference basketball tournament under any circumstances. Texans do not care about college basketball.

[WildcatNkilt]

Personally feel bad for KC area.  Otherwise MU is like that high school friend you really don't care to ever see again, and probably won't see until 10 years down the road at the first class reunion.

You're crap tier.

Texas cares about the value of their six million television sets and access to the St. Louis market.

if you like people not showing up for any games then the AA center is for you

I mean KU fans outnumbered UT fans a good 70/30 when they played in Dallas for the champy game a few years ago

And a clarification: I'm a Mavs fan and I love the AA center as a facility. But it shouldn't have the B12 tournament, and anyone who disagrees is basically wearing a squawk costume RIGHT NOW

okc would be the only other option.  okc is a terrible, horrible place.

For all of goEMAW, the best place the tournament could possibly be would be IBA.

No it's not.  Bricktown is sweet.  Plus I'd bet the cops there aren't complete dicks.

Oh I agree with that completely, I just don't think there is any way in hell that they'd do it.

Agree and FYP. But at least you have a chance of squawk/EMAW/Ostate0 fans filling up the place. Plus, if we're talking about adding Big East leftovers, then that just makes Dallas even more crap tier.

And yes I'd love Wichita personally but we all know that's not going to happen

[DQ12]

GMAFB, wichitards. 

OKC is like 2 hours away.
