First thought-
Why would you pass NY? I’ve been and it was great.

2nd thought-
Maui is a several time assuming you can afford it. Hawaii is beautiful, even tho Maui was the least of my faves while there

All others-
I’ll go to say that I’ve been somewhere new, good excuse with an MU tourney

I’m looking for warmth in November, so that’s the downfall of NYC.

Hawaii is great, too much traveling.

Anyone know the deal with Atlantis? There seems to be a Big East team there every year but it’s never us.

From what I understand, the MTE circuit is sort of similar to the AAU circuit in that different programs have connections with different MTEs, just like different programs have connections with specific AAU programs. I know we've looked into Atlantis, but I'm strongly led to believe that's a different MTE circuit than the ones we typically play in.

The resort is very overrated (and overpriced), and Nassau is one of my least favorite places in the Caribbean, so it would be a hard pass for me.
Have some patience, FFS.

Thanks, maybe with the women going there it’ll change in the future.

Thanks, good to know. I’m conflicted on going to warm weather places to sit in a gym the majority of the time anyway.

I too really wish we could get into the Atlantis rotation. Maui is fantastic. I went to the tourney in 2018 and it was amazing. But I was just in Maui last week so prob won’t be going next season, unfortunately.

I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

The list of tournaments and teams are linked. Part of this is conference affiliation and media. I know Broeker told me a few years would like to get into the Atlantis pecking order by the eastern Big East schools hold a legacy lock just like MU does in Maui.

MU travels very well (I think we had more fans than all the other schools combined in FW) but these tournaments are more and more "made for TV" versus tourism events. This tournament had 8 teams for example but broke into
4 majors and 4 mid/lower as the TV inventory isn't there with so many other choices at this time.
