The application is for if one of the top 16 seeds is unable to host. 

I've seen conflicting things on this.  It makes sense that a top 16 seed wouldn't have to place a bid.  It would be nice if someone in the know would clear the process up or do you have a link that explains the process definitively

Why wait for someone in the know before you write an article ******** about USF's failures? Complain first, gather information later.

Here's a link that explains the process, starting on page 19. From the way that reads, everyone wishing to host has to go through the application process.

Here's the first paragraph of that section for those who don't wanna click:

 

"Any institution or conference interested in hosting a preliminary round of the 2018 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship must submit a proposed budget, facility evaluation form, key contacts form, proof of insurance and video board questionnaire (if applicable) to be considered to host. A separate proposed budget and key contacts form must be submitted for each round that an institution or conference is interested in hosting. Please respond to sport-specific questions and ensure the institution’s key contacts and facility information are up to date via the Championships Bid and Host Profile portal. To submit a bid, first search for the desired championship under “championships available for bid” and select “add bid.”

They obviously asked someone in the know, and for whatever reason, they chose not to get into the reasons for why they decided not to submit an application.

Yawn...lets write an article about something we have no actual specific information regarding AND is entirely moot. TDS is a hair away from being the JK of blogs. 

TDS was the originator of the announced attendance ******** shots at USF so an argument could be made that JK is the one aspiring to be the TDS of blogs ...

So had we been one of those top 16 seeds. Would not submitting the app have mattered? 

Nope. We would host if we were able.

Man power for what? Submitting a 5 question online application that would take an intern 3 minutes to fill out?

Here's the application process .... A wee bit more than a 5 question online application.

Still holds true that absent facts, they went right to assumptions and accusations.

So, it's not:

1.  School Name?

2. Do you want to host?

3. Are you willing to for over $50,000.00?

4.  Are you sure?

5. Are you really sure?  $50,0000 is a lot of money.

I had to do a project that was similar to this back in grad school. It was a group final. It was ***** to complete and  it doesn’t even compare to this. It took four graduate students two weeks to get half of this stuff figured out.
