It does, indeed, say nothing about the Sunbelt losing its two slots (out of six), since other than CUSA stepping up from the previous three/six to a minimum of four/six, the rest of the tie-ins are up in the air.

The MWC only had one spot in that mix, if they dropped out then two/six Sunbelt appearances could very well still be in the offing.

In an English speaking country that gets US cable networks of the satellite and sends a lot of their kids to US Universities, and given the fact that its a once a year novelty ... its likely to get a reasonably good local turn-out. The Bahamas are doing it as a tourism advertisement, and so aren't likely to be banking on big ticket allotments to make the thing work.
