Letter to the Commissioner

Dear Mr. LeCrone

Let me first begin by saying, I hope this letter finds you. I wasn't sure where exactly to send it, 201 S. Capitol Avenue or 510 W 49th Street. Then I realized if someone over at Hinkle receives it, that probably doesn't matter since Butler sets the rules, gets all the calls and runs the league anyway.
Saturday night, I understand that you witnessed something you had hoped would never happened. It's clear to me that you were disappointed from the comments your cronies made to the students sections of Cleveland State University and Milwaukee, both whom were cheering against the #2 seed Green Bay.
I am a firm believer that the Horizon League is an Equal Opportunity League, however it is the worst league to be a student-fan as you can only speak if you are being fair to both teams and the officials.
But if you are a Butler fan it is completely OK to whine about everything. Yes that's right. Butler fans can BOO or yell swear words at the officials when they first enter the building, when they make a good call, when they make a bad call, when Matt Howard does a Cristiano Ronaldo impression, when Gordon Hayward finally turns 14. They even BOO when they win, which doesn't make sense since the Hinkle officials are hand-picked by a fan-ballot. I am worried that if they lose, someone might get seriously hurt.
When I read that you felt the current tournament set up was working perfectly, I was fairly disappointed. Ever since the league offices moved to Brad Stevens' secretary's desk, no team had ever made the final without the double-bye. And then you had to watch the Vikings go screw up your brilliant system. Guess the system doesn't work as well as you thought it did. Hopefully this didn't affect the Horizon's favorable partnership with Playground Chalk, because its clear that nobody wants to see upsets in March.
You said "It gives kids a chance to play in front of bigger crowds," clearly your analysis was proven correct, as each student athlete got a chance to "play" in front of 9,870 people leaving before the game even started. And by "play" I mean they each got to see them all leave as they did start to warm-up.
Though I disagree with you on the above aspect, I must say though that charging $5 for people to watch online was a great idea. The fact that almost nobody actually got to see Friday night's games unless they wanted to donate money to the Bulldog Scholarship Fund was marketing brilliance.
I look forward to seeing some more of your ideas in the coming future. Here are a few I would like to propose...

1. Change the logo from the weird person shaped like a star to a blue and white bulldog.
2. Give Butler a bye into the trophy presentation and let everyone else play for a shot in the NIT or the Insider.com Tourney.
3. Give tazers to all security guards, any person in the facility not wearing Butler apparel, and talking should be tazed.
4. Since you want big crowds, play every game at the home of whichever team is eliminated first. The Detroit-Mercy fans will come out in droves to watch a team from Dayton play a team from Northwest Indiana.
5. Put every game on the Horizon League website and charge $10 for a live feed with a $5 fee for the gamecast.
