    It was never supposed to get more teams in - it was supposed to improve the seeding of our champion

    True, but it didn't do that either.

    I believe it is very difficult to tell if it will help until it is done for about 4 or 5 years. The fact is that you have to have teams with good rpi's at the top of your conference for it to work; therefore, it will only have an impact on years that we have that. In years that we do not, it will not do anything. I believe it will really help, if we can get a team or two in the top 40 or 50 in rpi.

    It also hasn't hurt anything.

    I don't understand the hate for this. Even if it hasn't earned us a second bid or a better seed, it's not worse than what we had before. I'm not sure there is a great schedule for a 14 team league. It's never going to be perfectly balanced. This way attempts to help our most likely NCAA tournament teams avoid the drag of playing the really bad teams in conference more than they have to. And it gives the bad teams a chance for more winnable games going into the tournament. It adds some drama for the conference tournament seeding. I don't see the down side?

    I guess people on the CUSA board have hinted about playing the more regional teams more often, but are we (or anyone else in the conference) really consistently missing out on some amazing rivalry here by doing this?
