That usually doesn't happen, though. It's really not the norm for NCAA BB teams to play in large NFL stadia unless its a special game, and most if not all of the times, its because of the NCAA tournament that basketball teams play in huge stadiums.

Final Four's popularity (along with college sports in general) has risen greatly over the past 2 decades.

So... why is it devious and corrupt to want a larger venue to have the Final Four at? Again I don't doubt that the NCAA has been involved in corruption and what not. But I don't see how the football stadiums have anything to do with it.

Okay, seriously, my first comment on this was more tongue-in-cheek more than anything and I have no idea why you're sticking up for the NCAA so much. Yes, they are greedy and corrupt and exploit their student athletes and are so quick to punish them if they even sell their own merchandise for money, for themselves. Or, making sure certain players aren't banned for big primetime matchups (Cam Newton this year, the Ohio State football players this year).
