Organizers probably didn't think it applied to them because the Rumble In Rupp (preseason) isn't AAU (like Bob Gibbons). Plus, organizers had already gotten two other events in Rupp (which are still on as far as we know) OK'd to played, so they may have figured this one should be OK too.

However, according to a recent LHL story (http://www.kentucky.com/2011/11/26/19733...aiver.html), UK applied for a waiver on WEDNESDAY on Bleid Sports/Blair/Rupp Arena's behalf EVEN THOUGH UK was NOT supposed to be involved. The waiver was turned down later Wednesday.

However, how big could the event have been if it was able to be accomodated on such short notice at tiny Lexington Christian (not Catholic)?
