For over 50 years the NCAA HQ was in KC. It was selected as being an unbiased centrally located location. KC still holds the record for hosting the most NCAA Basketball Championships. As the NCAA grew, they moved from downtown to the suburbs. The NCAA then complained that they were to far from the airport (no idea why they decided to move farther away from the airport from downtown), and also that they weren't getting enough visitors in the newly built Visitor Center. In the late 90's, KC was not investing much in infrastructure in Midtown-Downtown, and was not willing to build a large arena or stadium to host NCAA events (Municipal was falling apart and not nearly big enough). Indianapolis won the bid to relocate with the RCA Dome being a focal point (which was later demolished for Lucas Oil).
NCAA in KC was corrupt as hell (see ku grads that worked there).

Heard they didnt win, they were gifted the bid instead without a bid process.
It makes sense as they were really poorly prepared and left millions on the table in merchandise, food, beverage, hotels.
Like they barely cared.
Nashville has far more things to do outside the game ....

Why is the NCAA HQ in Indianapolis anyway?
Fun fact- The geese on the canal only appear to shite at the NCAA HQ. The ducks stay at the far end of the canal away from NCAA HQ.
