But technically they ARE basing it on attendence. You have your hosts and then the 2-4 are as local as possible to boost ATTENDANCE. Some regionals don't look that way because they have to break up conference members and sometimes there is just nowhere else to send someone (ex: not make JSU a 3 seed just to keep 'em local - that kind of thing). They are trying to boost attendance with what they set up. SO, if they're gonna do that...fine, but pay attention to make sure the venue can handle it.
