CBS-13 News in Sac is reporting that the NCAA has rejected ARCO's bid to host the Final Four in 2013. They claim that ARCO is too "run down." Mayor Kevin Johnson (a former Sac King) is livid.
Interesting thing is that the last few times ARCO has been involved in the tournament, nether Sac State nor the Manure Pile have been the official "host." That distinction has gone to UOP. I've never understood that....

ARCO slammed by NCAA
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Re: ARCO slammed by NCAA
The report didn't say. It mainly consisted of Johnson crying about the NCAA's capriciousness and the lack of a "decent" facility.
I guess Sac is now all about what makes Johnson feel good....
