Haven't we been thru this enough times already Mike? It's not going to happen. We're not going to give up 2 home games for 3 years out of 4 for this tournament. Plus, UWM and UWGB can't play each other anyways out-of-conference since they're both in the Horizon League.
I'd be happy to give UWGB and UWM games against us at the same terms they are playing UW-Madision under, but this tournament's never going to happen. Give it up.
Duh, it amazes me he doesn't know the rules about teams from the same conference.
How long has this dweeb been covering sports? This was suggested by a know-nothing (myself) on the rivals board four years ago, and someone pointed out that it is an impossibility.
What would be the upside for UW and MU? Notice that the quote from UW's associate athletic director said, if he were at UWM, he would pursue this idea. There is clearly a reason that he isn't pursuing it now.

Heh, I just tried to click on the link and it is inoperative. Maybe someone at the JS reads this message board and wanted to avoid a slew of pithy comments.

I did the same and then went to the blog home. There is no entry that mentions the state teams playing in a tournament.
Very fishy for them to delete it out of the record and act as if there was nothing there in the beginning. Maybe they felt that the candidacy of the applicants was compromised by them not knowing the rules?
Possible it was just reposted accidentally. I'll give the benefit of the doubt here. What reason would he have for writing that column on March 2nd?
Does GB really want to lose 2 extra games every year...
With a name like Mike Hunt.... ;D
I think when Jim Rome retires from sports Mike Hunt should take over...
Think of the TV possibilities..
Mike Hunt is burning
