The NCAA Tournament Is Coming To Cincinnati. Maybe.

Earlier today, this was Tweeted out by the University of Cincinnati....
Cool. We haven't hosted March Madness since 1992, and it'd be cool if we could be an NCAA Tournament site once again. And maybe we will.
Except...
It will only happen if the owners of U.S. Bank Arena and local officials can figure out how to pay for a $200 million renovation of the 40-year-old facility.
For more, go to Cincinnati.com.
I wonder how, with the primary tenant at US Bank being the Cyclones and a lingering public distaste for using taxpayer money for sports facilities, renovations will happen.
If they don't, Xavier AD Greg Christopher is offering an alternative.
