In response to Chet Forte
This series convinced need me that it has to be moved to a neutral court. First of all, why would the other ADs permit one school to have an enormous recruiting advantage by being able to say that they host the championship every year? Second, since there is a pronounced home team advantage (statistically easy to demonstrate) why give Penn a built in advantage whenever it is in the tournament? Finally, Although I have no particular interest in seeing Harvard beat Penn or vice versatility, I thought that the officiating was pretty much one-sided. The clincher for me was when Harvard pretty clearly and cleanly trapped Betley, who then stepped out of bounds, but the call went against Harvard.
The Princeton-Penn women's game served as a pretty good counterargument to all this.
