Of course, you could just as easily make an argument for Memphis first, followed by a Nashville, then Louisville approach.
The issue is venue. Before the Knoxville regional started the original plan was to do it in Memphis, but there is a complete lack of appropriate venues. The only place that is suited is FedEx Forum, but it's location (right on Beale street) is not exactly where you want to let a bunch of high school kids out on Friday and Saturday night.

Nashville has better venues but not the density of teams.
