Very interesting development with this year's South Regional at the KFC Yum! Center. Being that this regional is in Louisville everyone assumed UK was a shoe-in to be in Louisville. However, there are schools in Knoxville and Auburn that may screw that up! Tennessee is ranked #3 and Auburn is ranked #11, while UK sits at #18. Assuming that UT lands a top seed in the tournament they would most likely be slotted in the South Region. If that happens the chances that UK gets moved to another Region would be strong.

Honestly, for the City of Louisville this would probably be better from an economic standpoint. A good majority of the UK fans would not stay in hotels and would commute home. Having UT or Auburn in Louisville would require a weekend stay which should bring in more money.
