The facility was originally supposed to open in 2022, but Covid and inflation messed up the budget situation and all they did for it was a bit of preparation of the site. Also, it’s been so long since the proposal that the big donor it was named after died.

Discussion A bunch of teams in the Players Era 16 tournament might have a problem

84 Upvotes

The Players Era 16 tournament in Las Vegas consists of two 8-team brackets, with each team guaranteed three games, plus the two winners playing each other in a fourth game. There's just one small problem: Alabama, Baylor, Creighton, Iowa State, Kansas State, Maryland, Miami, Oregon, TCU, and Tennessee show 29 games outside of this tournament on their schedules, so if they make the final, that's 33, which is one over the new NCAA limit of 32. (Note that the old "you can count one tournament that doesn't count against the limit" rule has been removed.)

Michigan and St. John's found a way around this: they have games "scheduled" against Mississippi Valley State and Columbia, respectively, that would be cancelled if they play four games in Vegas. (The other four teams - Gonzaga, Louisville, San Diego State, and Texas Tech - don't show 29 games outside of the tournament, so even if they play four, they're still under the limit of 32.)

Every preseason Top 25 team’s schedule, split into games against other preseason Top 25 teams, other teams that were top 75 last season, and everyone else. Arizona and Kentucky play the most ranked teams (11 each). Gonzaga plays 3, with 17 games against everyone else. Only games already set are counted, so later rounds of multi-game events aren’t in yet. Whose schedule is going to expose them?
