January 29, 200917 yr Can't take credit for the thread as a good friend text it to me. He is a reader but not a subscriber and thought it would make a good topic. With the new arena, NKU has the ability to host the ALL A and it is a result of the push from NKY that we even have an ALL A tournament.
January 29, 200917 yr Absolutely. If WKU can host the girls tourney geography is obviously not an issue.
January 29, 200917 yr Author Absolutely. If WKU can host the girls tourney geography is obviously not an issue. That is a KHSAA decision. KHSAA doesn't decide the All A location. I can tell you that the girls' tournament is at Bowling Green because Houchen's Grocery Stores gives a good chunk of change to sponsor the tournament.
January 29, 200917 yr I see no problem with NKU making a push, but I can't see EKU/Richmond letting this tournament go easily. It is a huge boost to the economy of Madison County and the city supports it well.

January 29, 200917 yr Who makes the call for the A? I believe there is a committee or a board of some type. I want to think it's made up of a representative from each region. I know Bob Tucker from Somerset has represented the 12th Region for years. I'm guessing the All A schools in each region send a representative to meet with the others and decisions are then made.
January 29, 200917 yr There's NO DOUBT the new arena at NKU is 1,000 times better than Eastern's gym. I say they go for it!
January 29, 200917 yr The arena at NKU is far better than EKU, but like it has been posted before, Richmond and Madison Co. will put up a fight to keep dollars that are despartely needed.
January 30, 200917 yr I have said this for years, if only to thank the NKy schools and staff for starting the whole affair. A lot of folks forget that it was a group of NKy schools that started this whole event and it would have never moved out of NKy if we in NKy had a arena like we should have had years ago....
January 30, 200917 yr There's NO DOUBT the new arena at NKU is 1,000 times better than Eastern's gym. I say they go for it! Couldn't have said it better myself, and this comes with no bias. As far as beauty of the gym alone, NKU is hands down.
January 30, 200917 yr The first step EKU/Richmond needs to take to ensure they keep hosting it would be to add some new lighting to counteract that awful green tint that falls over everything. Every year when I leave there I seem to come down with something, and it's because those sickly green lights sap my resistance.
January 30, 200917 yr Maybe they should try to host the All AAAA Classic, because it seems like every football team that is in the bottom 3 classes are eligable.
