As I said, I think BYU is in regardless what happens in Vegas, but the tournament doesn't do the Cougars any favors.

I'm with you in favor of the conference tourney being on the home floor of the team that won the regular season. I don't buy the arguments against it. $ is the only reason, and I highly doubt it would be more than $100K per team once you divided it up. That's not worth the unfairness.
