I kind of would've like to see the traditional yellow(maybe Snorty)-green-yellow in the championiship game but can't argue with the good mojo of the combo they picked. As Dan Fouts would say "Last game of the year Brent... can't hold anything back now."

The NCAA doesn't pick a city and hold the championship there. Cities submit bids to host it and the NCAA selects from that. I'm guessing nobody else has submitted a bid the last couple times it's been available or Frisco has been the best bid each time. It's also possible the NCAA is happy with Frisco and allows them to solo bid if they are interested. If the sports agencies in Orlando or Phoenix or Nashville or Vegas aren't interested in hosting the event it won't be held in those cities.

Yes, I'm aware of all that.

Josh Hayes is the key injury to look at. Huge drop off from him to CB3

I would guess there are others bidding on it but Frisco bids the most aggressively because they have hard numbers showing the economic impact of the event for them. I don't know what percentage of gate receipts they keep but ticket prices have rose nearly 300% in the last 8 years so they are making good money off of the game itself not to mention the impact to local businesses. I bet their bid for the 2010-2012 championship cycle was peanuts compared to this last bid for the 2019-2021 cycle

I am pretty sure(over 90%) that during at least one of the bidding cycles, there were no bidders other than Frisco. And I don't think there have ever been more than three bidding cities(including Frisco) except for maybe the bid where Frisco initially won it.

IMO one of the biggest factors for this game. The shit show Talbert turned in against UC Davis is burned into my brain until he shows me different.

Really? That's surprising to me... was it reported that there were no other bidders or did you hear it "off the record"?
