Proposal to USA Basketball...A Rocky Mountain WBC

I have the following proposal to make to USA Basketball.  Put in a bid to host the Wold Basketball Championship.  This time, all of the arenas would be the Rocky Mountain States of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. 

There are 3 NBA arenas in the Rocky Mountain region.  The college venues, and I have listed 8, would host the group stage games, the opening round games.  There are 4 other college arenas that would host the 2nd round games.  The requirement is that each college arena has a capacity of at least 5,000.  The larger college arenas host the 2nd round.  One NBA arena would host all of the upper half of the final stage playoffs.  One NBA arena would host the bottom half.  The finals and consolation games would be hosted in the 3rd NBA arena.

Here are the venues I listed.

First round games 8 sites:

Arizona:
Walkup Skydome: Flagstaff

Colorado:
Clune Arena: Colorado Springs

Idaho:
ExtraMile Arena: Boise

Montana:

New Mexico:

Utah:
