After Indiana State said it could not host an NCAA Super Regional game against TCU, fans of the Horned Frogs donated to Indiana Special Olympics.
against Texas Christian this weekend, fans of the Sycamores' opponent stepped up in an unexpected way.
ISU advanced out of its regional with a 3-0 record for the first time since 1986. The Sycamores were set to host TCU since they are the higher seed, but the university said they will not meet the NCAA lodging requirements to host the Super Regional, among other factors. Part of that reason is due to Terre Haute hosting the Special Olympics during that time.
“There are a variety of factors that come into play with the competition for resources and staff,” Indiana State Athletics said in a statement posted to Twitter. “With the potential for multiple large-scale events occurring in the area simultaneously and due to NCAA limitations on hotel distance from the field, there is a lack of hotel space to handle the accommodations required to house the visiting team, the support staff for the games, and the ESPN crew that would be in attendance.
