On the other hand, the Big 12 tournament is being held in Kansas City,
Your post was excellent on this...
But to add to it...
KC was the home to the Big6/7/8 tourney for a gazillion years before the Big XII.
It is a bid deal in KCMO and always has been. KU and KSU are close (and Missouri was) and this has always been a huge deal for Iowa State fans... they come to KC en masse until ISU gets eliminated... This year ISU is still there... So their fans are still there. And historically... Almost always.. one of Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri or Iowa State was in the finals... So there was always a big crowd all the way through.
Finally... in the old Big 8... Oklahoma State was really the only baseball school... In the Big XII it was them, Texas and A&M...
The Big XII fans don't care about baseball at all. Now that OU and Texas and A&M are gone you have OSU, Arizona, Arizona State, TCU and Texas Tech as your baseball schools. And that is pretty much it.

Because the SEC cares so little about SEC Basketball

Im perplexed that you chose this game for an example.

Basketball is a horrible spectator sport. Until they cut down on the incessant ticky tacky foul calling, it will remain horrible.

To that point basketball has gotten better ever since the charge calls disappeared.

I have the opportunity to sit under the basket a good bit on the floor. Ticky tack fouls? it's more like, teams assault each other knowing the refs won't call them all. The game is really physical. That's the bigger issue. Refs aren't great but they catch too much shite. Every time someone loses, it's their fault. Absurd.

I think the University of Kansas is about 40 miles from where the tournaments being played

Broken record here but they need to rotate the tournament to give other areas a chance to go see it.
They had it in New Orleans years ago and it was a blast and was packed in the dome.
Mississippi State brought a shat ton of fans.

I mean, when there's no rules to a game, why bother watching?

Kim, if L6u wasn’t the cellar dweller, there would be countless threads about “we comin” and “final four” predictions from the delusional coonies.

I think people care about basketball, but knowledgeable fans know the tournament means very little to anyone but bubble teams. Not worth the rising expense to go see.

And a lot time UK folks would go to see Kentucky play in the SECT because it was cheaper then trying to get a similar seat at Rupp for multiple games. And most SECT locations have been within a day’s drive (Nashville is just about 2 1/2- 3 hours from Lexington and Louisville).

UK fans need to boycott the SEC tournament until Doug Shows is fired.

2 mediocre bubble teams the fans probably dont care much about with early NCAAT exit written all over both even if they do get selected
Why anyone would expect them to show up to an SECT game in that scenario is...interesting to say the least. Might as well just save your money and PTO and wait for the NCAAT or a better season

Most SEC fans are bandwagon. They show out when they win; if Florida was as mid as Kentucky, no one would bat an eye. Florida fans only care about basketball when they win. The same is true for every fanbase other than Kentucky and Arkansas. Imagine if LSU became natty contenders in basketball…….

LSU has been a national contender over the years more often than most schools in the SEC. But we suck right now.

In the Fall football is the No.1 priority on the fans list....Basketball is down around 21 on the priority list. I was playing golf this afternoon while games were being played.
