Do we still have the MAC Tournie in Geneva, OH?

Posted: 11/14/2013 2:07:18 PM

As I read through the news and found this sentence below, I was paused with this phrase, "the right to host the MAC Championship" ?

Do we still have the MAC Tournie in Geneva or it will change to the school that won the regular title ?

------------------------------------------------------
The Bobcats would also claim the MAC regular season title for the second-straight season and earn the right to host the MAC Championship during the 2014 season.

I thought read somewhere that starting next year the tournament will be held on the campus of the previous years champion. I can't seem to find that article though.

Gee, who would have thought moving the tournament to Geneva wouldn't pan out? And last year's champion? Why not the #1 seed?

I like this. The venue planning for a 10 team tournament is difficult on the extremely short notice that #1 seed hosts. The Convo hosts two basketball programs and wrestling. Some MAC arenas hold other events as well. A year's notice blocks off the dates for operations.

Lili finally gets her due on this board.

Clearly that's why they're doing it that way, even though having the No. 1 seed host the tourney, as JSF said, makes the most sense from a purely volleyball perspective. But given OHIO's youth and talent, it probably wouldn't make a hell of a lot of difference either way.
