We are in the East bracket and we are playing in our game in California. If it really means nothing, how about the get some corporate sponsors and give that money to the schools.

What's hard to understand... We are in the East Bracket and we are playing on the west coast. Does that make sense to anyone else?
On a side note, all I am saying is that it seems like the bracket names mean nothing. Therefore, the NCAA should get money out of it. Sorry to confuse you.

Yeah, I understood this idea completely. Not too hard guys. Rename the brackets like bowl games (Citigroup Bracket, FedEx Bracket, etc.) rather than direction-oriented regionals.
While it would probably raise a crapload of money, I don't really like the idea. College sports is already too commercialized and corporate. I personally don't like the FedEx Orange Bowl. I like the Orange Bowl. Or even worse..the Papajohns.com bowl or the San Diego Country Credit Union Bowl. It just sounds tacky.

I completely agree that the corporate names are lame but a big check to MU would be sweet. And I am still kinda sour about playing in CA against a PAC 10 team.
I understand it too. I don't really like the idea but the money would be great
Instead of cutting down the nets, a vice-president of corporate communications from the bracket sponsor would present an over-sized check to the head coach of the winning team.
You could give each school a cut proportional to how far they advanced. Or have the conferences split the total winnings amongst all their schools. That would be great for the Big East.
The bracket names refer only to the location of the 2nd weekend of games nowadays.
Back before they started giving preferential location to the highest seeds to minimize travel, all the "East" bracket games were played...in the east. Now the first two rounds' locations mean nothing. But if you look at the sites for the Regional Finals, those are all still in the location of the named bracket.

If you think that MU would get any cash out of this idea, you're nuts.
