Local Organizing Committee
The Big Hoopla is an Ohio non-profit corporation formed to organize all activities for the Dayton region in and around the NCAA First Four and the Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. The mission of its volunteer committee is to enlist community support for the NCAA First Four from small and large business, academic institutions, government, civic and community organizations as well as individuals across the fourteen-county Dayton region.
These dedicated individuals meet bi-weekly for much of the year to develop policies and plans that assure the growth and success of the NCAA First Four in Dayton, year after year. Guiding the activities of The Big Hoopla and the many volunteers are the committee leads.
