Does the location of the national championship meet no longer move around?

Yes, it does.  But just as we've hosted the Indoor meet in consecutive years, it can and sometimes is at the same place for 2 or 3 years in a row.

They seem to have settled on Eugene for an extended spell due to climate, spectatorship and other reasons.

Other reasons such as Nike.

It looks like, inexplicably, that it is locked up in Eugene through 2021. This just seems hardly fair, but what can you do.

TAMU has Indoor next year.

Edit: Indeed, there was a deal.

" The successful bid was based on three principles: an unprecedented partnership between Oregon and the local track and field community that will elevate the Championships into one of the NCAA's premier events; a first-class student-athlete experience that allows competitors to excel at the top of their sport; and engaging the community to celebrate the history of the sport and emphasize the fan experience."
