So much for an Ivy League event and gathering if students aren't interested in attending and some schools don't have a following.
The arguments for a tournament (at the Palestra) seem to be:
- largest arena (a geographic outlier that still has almost 50% of its tickets available less than 24hrs before tipoff)
- an opportunity for Ivy Leaguer's to come together (but not for some schools that don't care and, generally, not for students who are on break but don't spectate anyway. Also, there is no centralized location or social events so we all just have to make our own plans in the city)
- to avoid a top team missing out on the pay for play CIT or CBI
