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. 

So you don't like the wording "of the top 6 conferences"? 

I'd say it would be a much bigger issue if there was a chance that Eastern Kentucky gets upset in the conference tourney and somehow ended up with a higher NET ranking than any of those top 2 teams that don't make the NCAA Tournament from the big 6.  Something tells me they won't.  As of right now they are 202.

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

This all sounds like our fans have a problem with the NIT-picking formula.  The best answer is for us to win out.  I don't know how much longer we can ride the glory of our ***** Pill CBI Championship from 2019.

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

 

Definitely brought it up and I totally missed it ..... but it looks like there was zero conversation about it after your post, everybody focusing on the NCAA's, so I'm not feeling too bad.

If we slip up, we may have a chance to repeat that 2019 glory .....

I guess that is the difference between us, one of us retains and adds meaningful dialogue while the other is simply redundant.

I am truly impressed that you remembered that one paragraph from that long ago ...... stunned, actually.

I remember everything no matter how trivial, you live in Temple Terrace and both your sons are King high school and USF grads…. However I did take some liberty with saying that I only only add meaningful dialogue, that was bold faced lie.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
