Problem is the NCAA does a poor job of communicating that by allowing other small stadiums to host.
its not a single issue. its a collection.
purdue won its tourney, has a reasonable record, and is bidding with a nice stadium. it also helps they are out of the traditional ncaa baseball zone.
miami has a stadium larger than UKs, significantly more prestige, and made the finals of their conf tourney.
if it came down to UK vs either of those, its not a slap in the face that UK lost out.

It absolutely is. The NCAA is talking out of both sides of its mouth by saying they want to expand the tournament by denying a non-traditional team with the record to back it up the opportunity to host. UK could've hosted in a 6,000+ stadium in a nice city in a "northern" location in comparison to some of the other schools selected. Even our small stadium is comparable to others hosting.
