Are we really trying to say the Eastern Kentucky Colonels would win more than 5 games in the Big Ten?

... and not sure how I feel about them. Know most don't really care, it's NCAA's or nothing, but it was still a nice minimal reward for teams that got through grueling conference play to win the regul

I believe the controlling body here is ESPN, so they can make money with larger market/conference teams.

NCAA cares about who brings in the most people, and who makes them the most money. They really don't care about who is the best, or who deserves it the most.

These are just a couple of examples of the current conference leaders in the G5

Totally missed that ... I think ... hopefully, I didn't respond back then. It could affect us positively if we can get to a decent NET ranking and some of the lower one bid conferences don't have their reg season champs upset in their tourney.

Not sure if you went on to comment, but twas I that brought it up.

The issue is not that those teams are being considered, it is that they are guaranteed to have a spot irrespective of their overall body of work. That guarantee potentially comes at the expense of a deserving non-power school. Also, they are guaranteed to host a game (assuming no scheduling issues) by way of the fact that they are a "power conference team". That is the problem.

More money based on popularity bias. 

How much longer before all bowl games play this game?

Because guaranteeing a home game/top seed without some criteria beyond "you are a member of a better conference" is the definition of conference bias.
