The ENTIRE 2021 March Madness tournament in one city !!!

The city has not been named yet but Atlanta would be a great choice. We have The Mercedes dome where the falcons play, Phillips area where the hawks play, Georgia Tech's arena and Georgia state's arena along with the Georgia aquarium, College football Hall of Fame, world of Coke and the civil rights museum and tons of hotels and restaurants. All within a five mile radius.

That would be cool by me, but the AP is saying the NCAA is already in negotiations to have the entire tournament in Indianapolis.

The final four is already scheduled to be in Indianapolis, so I'm certain that's where the tournament will take place, plus we already have the contract in place with the city of Indianapolis, the JW Marriott Hotel, and the NCAA to handle all signage for the event.

I had heard Indy mentioned. Bubble like NBA

Is it going to be held 2 weeks after selection? All of these conference tournaments will be played all over the place coast to coast, so then just bring 68 teams that include players, coaches, trainers, staff all to one location? The NBA made it work, but this is totally different. I just hope it gets played this year. By doing this, I’m assuming there will be no fans??

Correct. They plan to play like TBT was last summer

Probably Indy. The dirty little secret of early round NCAA games is, except for a handful of teams when they are placed in reasonable distances from home, early round tickets are not hard to score at all. But still, no city could possibly handle the second week's fan visitors times four. So this well be unattended.

Logic? So we are going to have 350 + teams shuttling about the country, including the bottom third to half of DI, the "bus and gym" programs that just shuttle about on school buses, play in small gyms, and depend on fast food and take out pizza for three months; then have everybody in conferences, including those spread (like CUSA) over a third of the country for some tournament; and then lock the 68 victors in some kind of bubble in a second tier charmless midwestern town. Yah, that will work.
