At risk of "beating a dead horse"....at least in respect to broaching this topic again! I had a number of conversations at convention with people who would like to see USMS move to a 3rd Championship meet in the fall for short course meters.
There are some great Zone meets going on...when you have 600+ going to Long Beach or New England why not up the ante a bit?
Thoughts?
By at capacity, do you mean the BU facility? If the meet was extended an extra day (like a National Champs) that would spread the events out more.
What is stopping GBM from doing it right now?
I would imagine running a meet as a national championship requires more work than as an LMSC championship. There will need to be a significant return, and I am not at all sure that there would be.
Two national championships a year is plenty, IMO; does USA-S do more? But I wouldn't mind them running the spring meet as SCM every once in awhile. There would proly be a spate of WRs.
