It will surely be a more long-term and stable slot for the marathon to take place, rather trying to mess around NYE or the CFP or other bowl games that will draw attention away. And, like Stever said, much more students will be able to attend and see the games (rather than being away on vacation).
Marquette/Butler
Creighton/Xavier
DePaul/St. Johns
Seton Hall/Villanova
Providence/Georgetown
Will be a fun day of hoops for sure.
Yeah, everything that you said. Plus, I think especially the years where the marathon is the day after the NFC championship game- the advertising for that would be priceless. NFC championship game typically is the #2 TV event of the entire year.
Also, this will allow I think better games to be held in the marathon. Look at this years Marathon. You have 5 teams that I think are pretty much agreed about tourney teams. Well, 4 of those teams are playing each other in the marathon.
