    In response to PLHoopsFan

Yes, first round fee for the CBI last year was $30,000 - escalating to a much larger amount for the second round. CIT reportedly costs at least $25,000 for the first round.

AU may well have been given the choice of either hosting or not getting a bid at all, since, as you say, a lot of teams don't want to host since they will likely lose money. For example, URI lost $25,000 last year hosting the first round of the CBI - which created some controversy given that URI's athletic program was already losing a lot of money.

An AU fan on the HC board said that the PL now has a deal where the league will share AU's costs. I had not heard that and I'm not sure of the source.
