Furthermore, if her team wins, I also wouldn't be surprised to see some sore-loserish behavior from the other team in the form of some parent/fan filing a lawsuit against the winning team for the same reason. She should've kept her mouth shut or else just done some good old-fashioned non-monetary trash talking about her opponents...

Are you aware that the WCC just played their conference tournament ON THE PREMISES of a casino in Las Vegas?

Wonder how the NCAA brass felt about that.

Learn to read. Notice that I didn't post a question, but rather a statement. There is no question mark at the end of my sentence.

I was not making an inquiry, rather I was giving a directive to the other poster. He was the one whom I wanted to do the wondering.

I know that the NCAA approved the location. Remember I live in this state.

Now get over your Napoleon complex.
