The Big East is always at MSG - St. Johns plays there. The A10 is now at the Barclays Center - Very close to Fordham. The MAAC (although moved around a bit) is always best at the Times Union Center - Siena's home court. The ACC was always at Greensboro - very close to the NC teams and basically a home game for UNC.
What's wrong with having it at the Palestra which is the best venue and in a big city where hotels and other travel accommodations are readily available? Everybody wants "fair"... Life isn't fair, but the Palestra is the best option.
The only other suitable option is to expand the tournament and play the games at the higher seed. This is what the AE, Patriot, NEC and a few others do. Pick your poison...
