00:00 What would be the process and timetable for determining where the tournament goes beyond 2023?
00:05 Our athletic directors will continue to discuss future tournaments.
00:10 We will be going to Washington in '21, to Brooklyn in '22, and then back to Greensboro in 2023.
00:19 We're in a rotation in which we've been Washington, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Greensboro.
00:25 On occasion, we have been to Atlanta, we've been to Florida on one occasion.
00:33 So I think we're in a good rotation and in a good place.
00:37 We're fortunate because we have a great tournament, tremendous history, great tradition,
00:45 and a lot of venues, a lot of cities welcome having it.
00:49 And it's successful wherever it goes.
00:53 How successful depends on maybe where you live and who you're pulling for.
00:57 But it's a success anywhere we take it.
01:00 And so we're blessed in that case.
01:03 So our athletics directors will continue to talk about it with our faculty representatives
01:08 and our presidents as to where it goes after 2023.
01:13 We like to stay three to five years ahead of where the tournament is going.
01:19 And so I would suspect we will, in the very near future, have those discussions beyond 2023,
01:27 at least for a couple of years.
