I would never put anything past Karl Benson.

I don't see where he could do that though. He would have some very unhappy members on his hands who have had to bid on the tournaments for years. It would NOT go over well, especially with Louisiana and USA. Other schools who wouldn't like it would likely be ULM, TXST, and UTA. I imagine Troy wouldn't be too fond of it either, but since they host next year it probably wouldn't bother them quite as much.
I bet Georgia Southern bid on it. Benson might have pulled some strings so that Georgia Southern could bid (I don't know) but I bet he didn't flat out award it to them. I would be very surprised (and upset). That isn't a way to run a conference.
