Article quoting Robin Harris on the future of the IL Tournament
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/sports/c ollege/...
She talks about a bunch of issues discussed on these boards including Places like Y, H, Col as well as these select quotes:
On the Palestra as venue:
It was easy to come here this year. This is the obvious place, and we'll just have to - I think it's certainly a front-runner for next year as we look at how we want to promote and feature our student-athletes during March Madness. It's a very special place.
On potential of higher seed to host:
If we were to go to the site of the higher seed, the regular-season champion, that could very well be different, and at different schools, and it would not allow us to bring our men and women together. One of the main reasons these tournaments were approved was to bring the men and women together.
On possible non Ivy neutral site:
We will look at and evaluate, in May, neutral-site venues that are within our footprint, that make sense, that are right-sized, that will create the right atmosphere.
