I don't think it is that huge of deal. I know both UWM and Marquette sell beer during their basketball games. Heck, UWM sells beer at their Student Union.

I don't think it matters what the "public" thinks. Its about the $$$$$.

I think its interesting that the Summit League is stepping out of the box a bit and not being hoobled by NCAA rules. As TV explained in the webcast, this is technically a gathering of the conference members and not a NCAA event. I dont think any our NCC commissioners thought nor did they dare to diviate from the NCAA rules. No doubt about it, its about $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and the host which is the Sioux Fall sports authority. The Summit has sold beer before though, but not in Tulsa.

I think it probably had more to do with what they thought was acceptable among the general public in the upper Midwest.

Re: Beer at the Summit

bballfan54 - I used to play up in Canada (can't believe it's been 17 years ago!). I was offered a scholarship from Ron McCutcheon at Brandon University. How are they doing? Are they still the top basketball school up there? I was pretty shocked when I visited. He had told me all this stuff about them, how, at that time, they had won like 7 of the last 8 Canadian National titles, had a players lounge, a shoe deal, etc. The gym was the size of the Augies gym, the players lounge was a 12x12 room with desks and a TV, the shoe deal was Brooks. They did have a couple of transfers from Pitt I believe on the team. Eldon Irving and Joey Vickery, Vickery was on the Canadian National team.

I met alot of great people up there from all over Canada. At that time anyway basketball in Canada was like hockey in Texas, so it always amazes me to see quality players come from up there. Did Western Christian College move to Regina from Dauphin, Manitoba? One more question, didn't Steve Nash briefly live in Regina before moving to BC? A good buddy of mine (haven't spoke with him in years) lives in Regina, Steven Elford.

Brandon have been very good in recent years , some of their recruiting was ...shall we say a little suspect....it would be interesting to see how many players finished school with their degrees....

I believe Steve Nash did live in Regina at one time...

The Brandon Gym is like a high school gym compared to most in Canada now it really needs a makeover...
When my husband came up to Canada to play basketball they searched the city for outdoor hoops when they could not find any , they asked a passer by, where are all the outdoor hoops in this city, the reply was we don't have any harlem globetrotters here.....

I apologize if this question has already been answered. I just looked at the Summit tourny site and it says the SDSU men are playing Sun Mar. 8 at 6:00PM. Is that right, or are they playing saturday night at 8:30?

For some of us and I speak for myself, its basketball without beer. That works for me. Enjoy yourself Joe.
