Come on now. Obviously the SEC and Big East made tremendous blunders when they allowed St. John's and Nova to play Challenge games at MSG and the Wachovia Center, respectively. These are of course supposed to be neutral site games and any teams playing close to home are there by chance.
Surely they never intended to give a home court advantage to Pitt in Pittsburgh, Cincy in Cincinnati, Florida in Tampa, Kentucky in Louisville, Vandy and Tennessee in Nashville, and Bama and Auburn in Birmingham. These schools just got lucky.
They wanted to play games on neutral floors in cities where they'd sell tickets.
Honestly, you're being ridiculous about this.
You want to believe that Syracuse plays tons of road games on aircraft carriers and in hockey arenas in St. Petersburg? Knock yourself out.
