I don't know much about the financing of games, but how is it a financial problem to do a home-and-home for UK but not for IU? Will UKs basketball program really be bankrupted or put in any kind of financial trouble a year or two after a tournament win because of playing a game at IU? What about playing at Rupp, which IU is okay with? Should all of your facts not apply to IUs program budget?

I see that playing at a neutral site could be nice, but it seems fishy to start do it again THIS YEAR, considering this: "I don't think he (Kentucky coach John Calipari) was really thrilled about going back to Bloomington, to be honest with you," Barnhart (UK athletic director) said."

It sounds like 'UK doesn't want to go to Assembly' is an accurate statement, according to the higher ups of UKs own program...

Again, I am no expert about this but...I'm not sure how this decision would hit UK so much harder than IU, and I think it is a fair statement that UK just doesn't want to play at Assembly.
