Which brings up the question, just how many locations (ie groups/universities) actually have any desire to bid on hosting this meet?
Are there really any other universities demanding that they be allowed to host instead of having it in Terre Haute?
There is an open bid process for most NCAA Championships and also for Regionals - in almost all sports (all? not sure about sports that are televised). The paperwork is available on the NCAA website, and in fact we recently received a memo inviting schools to submit a bid for about 15 different sports on all 3 divisional levels. In my experience with this process in other sports there has been a sort of "gentleman's agreement" among interested schools about where NCAA's and Regionals will be held and who will put a bid in for certain years. I have no idea if this is the case with XC.
