Yeah, this is a bad job out of the NCAA. If would ask if there were any COVID-related protocols that would keep NCC from hosting, but if that would have been the case the Cardinals would have been forced on the road, anyway.
I also agree with everyone else saying NCC won't need this for extra motivation. It's a semi-final among the path to repeating. I cannot imagine a team needs any more motivation than that.
While everyone thought the Raiders would go to North Central if they won the region, there must have been a good reason
for the NCAA to have Mount host. In terms of motivation, it really won't matter for any of these 4 teams. They all want
to win regardless of where the game is held.
The bolded sentence is based on bad logic. "Since the NCAA refuses to pay players while showing annual revenue north of $10B, there must be a good reason for it" is the same logical argument.
The reason is simple. The NCAA, ESPN, the city of Canton, and the pro football HOF don't want a 90% empty stadium in a couple weeks.
I'll now return to my cave.
