WHY do our fans just keep supporting the SEC Tournament???!!!!

Exactly. I don’t understand why when I watch high school gams in person the officials are pretty darn good . I would love it if one season the schools went totally with the best high school officials they could find . The problem with the fraternity as it is now is refs who have been around have a bias against certain schools and try to get even for their buddies like Higgins .
Trashville sucks, legalized scalping leads to outrageous ticket prices especially when the Cats play, $10 for a can of beer, $300+ hotel rooms and have to listen to that suck ass country music everywhere you go! And get shafted by the horrible SEC officiating. NO !UCKING WAY IM GOING. I"LL go back when they move it back to Atlanta.
For some of us, Western Ky .Nashville closer than Lex. Atlanta USED to be a fun trip. Also for many of us that go it's our best chance to get decent seats to a UK game. Finally because we usually do very well in it. Cal got the last few years to where he stopped even trying to act like he gave 2 shits about it. I don't think that will be the case this year. After going for 12 years minus Covid I stopped going 2 years ago out of digust. Considerable investment to go see us tank.
If UK fans didn't go, the sec tournament would still sell out and the always packed bars would barely feel a difference.
Anyone that went any of the last few years its been in Nashville knows this is true. So it might sound like a good idea, but in reality would achieve nothing.
Years ago it would be a totally different story but not now.

That's what everyone always says. But it's not viable. I would guess 90% of the ticketholders are UK people. The people going to to those non UK games bought them from UK people.
It wouldn't. The whole town is taken over by UK. When UK loses early like the last 2 years the hotels empty out. You can't even give tickets away. The bars on Broadway will be mostly full because they are every weekend. But they feel it without UK.
When we lost on friday in '13 the title game on Sunday was Ole Miss and somebody. The true attendance was around 4K. And that was mostly UK people that flew in instead of drove.
The SEC tourney is all about UK. If UK just announced early that they weren't going they could move it to a local high school gym.
Why would the SEC give special treatment to its 6th strongest team?
Regardless, if the league really was that corrupt, they should be biasing officiating in favor of bubble teams. Getting 13 teams in will really make them some money, much more than turning a 3-seed into a 2-seed but losing a bubble team. However they're not influencing it in that way. Refs in every sport around the world are biased toward the home team. It's been researched extensively.
