Sankey said that a Greenville was a natural fit for a host location, given the league's history here. The SEC has agreed to hold that tournament in Greenville through 2025. Below is audio from Commissioner Sankey talking about the decision to bring the tournament back here.
By the end of the event's 3 year run, the city of Greenville will have hosted over 100 Women's College Basketball games.
