I love this idea!
Absolutely that is a stacked tournament. Easy resume builder for all teams. I just think it may be a traveling tourny (kc, Denver, Lincoln, abq) for it to work.
If you rotated it the tourney would lose a lot of it's appeal. It would also be easier to sell if you did it in Denver every year and built a core of repeat viewers. Fill the Can and get a decent TV contract and you could make it profitable enough that all the participants would be more than happy to give up home games or the fees they might get from playing road games.
That makes sense to me. Don't know if it makes sense to the other schools.
For DU/UNC it would be both a money maker and a chance to get their programs media attention that they otherwise would never get in the big market most important to them.
For the visiting mid major program it would be financially sound while giving them a chance to win some games away from home. The trip to Denver to play in front of a big crowd in an NBA arena would be popular with their players (recruiting) and their fans. Denver is popular with a lot of people from states like Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and is only a one day drive away.
This doesn't mean that they all would want to come but we only need one.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
Hence the discussion of a front range or Rocky Mountain regional themed BB tourney.
I am strictly speaking about the 4 state option nik proposed. The regional tourney only makes sense at the keg or the can.
I don't think we are a big NBA town so don't know what kind of draw that would be.
I am just supposing but think that the idea of playing in the same arena as an NBA team would be appealing to the players and fans of the participating teams. Even if they don't sell out the Pepsi center playing in that environment in front of 15,000 or more fans would be significant for many of them. For the regional visitors that would be an atraction in addition to the offerings of Denver in the fall/early winter.
What might make or break the whole thing would be to get a contract to televise it on one of the ESPN networks or other major outlet. Having CU under Tad as a likely NCAA tourney team along with a Wichita State, KjSU, or other respected program might get them that.

It's a pre-sale for season ticket holders and the email link is linked to your donor account - they are opening this up to everybody on Monday.
