Quote from: NCAA Handbook, page 7
Site Selection
The Championships Committee has prioritized the following site-selection criteria for all championships:
1. Quality and availability of the facility and other necessary accommodations;
2. Geographical location (which may include such factors as rotation of sites, weather, accessibility and transportation costs);
3. Seeding; and
4. Attendance history and revenue potential, which shall be considered necessary to assure fiscal responsibility.
In addition, the men's basketball committee requires each host to videotape all contests at its site, with the intent to make available to each team a copy of the contest in which it participated. The committee also prefers sites that will not host conflicting events during the championship practice and competition. Sites will also be evaluated as to the availability of appropriate practice times for all competing teams. To host first-round, second-round or sectional contests, a regulation court as defined in 2007 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Rules and Interpretations must be used. To host sectional competition, arena seating for at least 1,000 spectators is required.

Everyone meets the minimum:
Fisher 1200 (thanks, blindwatchmaker)
Brockport 2000
JCU 2448
Wooster 3400

Factor one, quality of facility perhaps favors Wooster on size alone, but quality of "other necessary accomodations" might score higher in the cities (Rochester, Cleveland) than in little ol' Wooster.
Factor two, geographical location, I think clearly favors Fisher and Brockport.  Transportation costs are lower there than here in Ohio, but we have better weather!    As regards rotation of sites, Wooster hosted sectionals in 2003 and 2004, Brockport had one in 2002, and nobody else has hosted since 2001 or earlier (I only went back that far for purposes of this post), so if this is a factor at all it would work against the Scots.
Factor three, seeding, is either Fisher or Wooster; hard to guess.  But this is just factor three; the decision might not get this far.
Factor four, attendance history and revenue potential, has got to favor Wooster with its big gym and big crowds.  There's no question that there'd be more tickets sold here (by 2000+) than anywhere else.  But again the decision may be made before even thinking about this.

It will be very interesting to see what shakes out, but I'm still planning on visiting the Kodak City next weekend.

So who do you think will host between SJF, Brockport, JCU and Wooster?

KSC218-

So would you give the nod to Brockport or JCU then?

Had to go digging a bit- is SJF's gym 1200 capacity?  How might that impact hosting vs JCU at 2448 and Wooster at 3400?

  JCU looks like the 4th choice.  Wooster had the better win %, but Fisher had the better QoWI.  Not knowing anything at all about their facilities, my guess would be Fisher would be the higher seed and would host. 

Took some digging but Fisher's gym holds 1200.  Would they still be the best hosting site if Wooster could more than double that in one night in terms of capacity?

Wooster looked good tonight.  Port and Cooper lit it up going for 27 and 21 respectively.  Overall Wooster shot 59.7% from the floor and 40.9% from 3 point land

Could have done a better job defensively though as the Quake shot 49.2% on the game.
