TCU. Not enough rooms within 30 miles because of Special Olympics events in area.

Indiana State University will not host baseball super regional
In a statement on social media, the Athletic Department cited prior commitments, largely related to the Special Olympics Indiana Summer Games, as the reasons for not being able to host.

Kentucky was allowed to use their dorm rooms for visiting teams. Indiana State should be allowed to do the same.

To be considered to host a super-regional, a school must submit a bid once the regionals are selected. This bid includes accommodation sources for media, visiting teams, personnel and fans. It also includes facilities logistics for parking, traffic control, visiting team practice and locker room accommodations. On top of that it includes a monetary bid to the NCAA (essentially a money guarantee).
Indiana St never submitted a bid. They stated that they knew the housing for players, media, and fans would be an issue. They host the National Special Olympics every year. This weekend is the 51st annual. They stated that their guys were willing to travel. "It was more important to their team to not hinder the Special Olympics in any way and if there was any inconvenience, then let it be on them and not the Olympiads." If that's true, then that unselfishness should be commended.
