Don't think the CLA was an option. I believe the State High School Championships were already scheduled for this weekend.
It's only women's basketball. Really?
Sometimes subject lines are to get people to read the post which you did.

This. They'be been this weekend since the 90s when my Columbia High Capitals were ROBBED in the 1991 Girls State Championship.
I wouldn't mind taking their money, while at the same time showing how insignificant ACC WBB is to fans vs. SEC.
You do know that holding that much emotion inside of you all these years is not healthy?

It was reborn during our 25th reunion in October when we all saw the runner up trophy in the case.
Really!! It's a collegiate sport. I would hope Gamecock fans would pull for all Gamecock sports. We did lead the nation in attendance in women's basketball with over 13000 per game.
I recall a few years ago at the SEC men's tournament at the GA Dome when the roof tore and they finished the tourney in former-SEC member GA Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum. Of course, they didn't plan it that way.

My dad and I were discussing this yesterday. The MB Convention Center is the biggest venue in town, but the MB Marathon is also this weekend and I guess the venue was booked.
SC wouldn't let The Panthers use WB, doubt they would have let another conference use CLA

No reason to allow any other conference to use the CLA unless there has been some kind of natural disaster and it's the only available venue.
Are you really pretending to believe that women's basketball is nearly as popular as men's basketball? Rare is the school where women's hoops attendance is even close to men's attendance, and the tickets are considerably cheaper for women's basketball. Season tickets at USC that cost $260 (with Gamecock Club membership) for men's games cost $60 for women's games.
