MVC Women's tournament to rotate host sites beginning next year

[Da Coach]

Press release from the MVC - https://mvc-sports.com/news/2024/4/2...mpionship.aspx

The MVC has announced that the women's basketball tournament will have a rotating host city in each of the next 3 years.
The tournament will be in the Ford Center in Evansville in 2025, the Xtream Arena in Coralville, Iowa in 2026, and the Vibrant Arena at The MARK in Moline, Ill. (2027).
Dates-

• 2025: Thursday-Sunday, March 13-16
• 2026: Thursday-Sunday, March 12-15
• 2027: Thursday-Sunday, March 11-14

The only one of those sites that is a home city for one of the MVC schools is Evansville. However, the Evansville women's team does not routinely play their home games at the Ford Center like the men's team does. They routinely play home games at the Meeks Family Fieldhouse on the UE campus, with the exception that for the last few years they have played one game each year at the Ford Center.

Where is Coralville?

Where is Coralville?

It's adjacent to Iowa City, right on I-80 - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Coralville,+IA/@41.6732397,-91.7860875,10.17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x87e443ed1ae602ff:0x9f6a62b2e915a 56c!8m2!3d41.6960455!4d-91.6086028!16zL20vMHQwMGg?authuser=0&entry=ttu

I am not familiar with the Xtreme Arena, but here is some info about it - https://xtreamarena.com/

Kinda stretches the definition of "neutral site."

Looks like they are partial to UNI and Drake for sure.Do the powers that be have any idea about the rest of conference locations.Does not seem fair at all.
