WHAT'S BROKE AND NEEDS FIXING. This is a tough one today because, in my humble opinion, what's broke may not be fixable. I'll let my loyal readers and viewers decide for themselves after perusing todays posting.

The fact that the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament still plays their early round games on campus sites of the highest seeded teams is broke. To be truly unbiased toward any one of the participants this needs to be fixed like the NCAA Men's March Madness does with all contests being played at neutral sites. The question that begs to be asks is simple and it's this. Is the fix plausible and here's why this may not be the case.

Let's look at the Men's Road to the Final Four first. All games, with the exception of the play in contests at the University of Dayton Arena, are conducted at off campus sites. No home court advantages to say the least.

Now, let's move to the Women's side and there's a big difference. First and second round tilts at one of the participants home courts then the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight are at neutral sites along with the Final Four.

I'm going to give the NCAA a pass right now on this and here's why. The Men's March Madness have their "pick of the litter" when it comes to sites. In fact they are set up years in advance and the NCAA would really like to do the same for the Women's tourney but right now it's not practical. That's because the interest in women's hoops is no where near the level of the men.

The NCAA is hoping that in a few years all Women's Road to the Final Four contests can be played at neutral sites. Right now that's just not feasible from an attendance as well as a financial point of view.

So, yes the way the Women's Tournament chose their sites is broke. Right now, thought, the fix is a few years away.

Book it Dano!
