The NCAA made a landmark announcement on Tuesday about the location for a college basketball game this season, and as is often the case with such a bold decision there is obvious debate of whether or not it was the appropriate one. It was confirmed that a couple of college powerhouse programs will tip off on the deck of the USS Carl Vinsion on Veterans Day, with the game taking place on the same flight deck off of which the body of Osama Bin Laden was cast. The controversial decision will bring a ton of scrutiny for obvious reasons, and there is no doubt that it will bring a ton of attention for reasons both good and bad that will likely overshadow the sports betting bonus game between Michigan State and North Carolina.

The ship will be docked in a port in San Diego when the game takes place, with a projected 7,000 on hand to take in the game. Members of the crowd will feature military personnel and their families, as well as the families of those that will play. There will be considerable hype and excitement on what projected to be an emotional day, but the obvious concern is that the game will be a target for all the wrong reasons. An increased security presence will be an obvious necessity for the game, and there will be a ton of online sports betting debate about whether the decision is the right one.
