IU Reporter: BTT To DC for a year?

Submitted by MGoLesher on

Sorry I'm not good at embedding tweets but I saw this tidbit from Justin Albers, who follows IU basketball and works for Fox Sports:

"Hearing the Big Ten Tournament will be moved out of Indianapolis and to Washington DC for at least one year. Disappointing. #iubb"

I attended the B1G Tournament the last two years in Chicago and Indy and I truly think that it should rotate between those two cities, if not adding Detroit.

to have in DC or anywhere in the East Coast (maybe Philly) or even Pittsburgh. I don't know why Indy is so highly thought of.

As others have said, like it or not, expansion and TV market is the new reality.  I'm in favor of rotating every 3rd year into the east/mid-atlantic region.

And you still can't beat Chicago as an all-around destination.  Indy is Chicago's little brother.

or spend the time on Rush Street or any number of things EXCEPT going to Soldiers Field or the United Center.  They aren't close to anything.  As a vacation destnation - yeah, no comparison Chicago beats every "big" city except NYC - Indy isn't even close.  To watch a sporting event Indy has Chicago and NYC beat.

Go Blue!
