He said that this will ruin the game and favor the power leagues. Looks like he was spot on. EVERYTHING favors the money . . . er, power leagues.

That is an old school saying that stock brokers would tell you when they wanted you to sell a stock and buy something else so that they could make the commissions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the AAC will get stronger than it is now and may get there but certainly isn't now. I'm not saying better, just not a huge decrease either, its not as big as a drop off as people want to make of it. If we had kept those teams we would be a 3-4 bid leauge. My bigger gripe is the metric NET is garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's skewing the perception is that Houston is kicking ass in a much much harder conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team not playing in EITHER of those tournaments would be an absolute crime. 2 hours ago, flsportsfan83 said: That would be awful. I think we likely sneak into the NIT, but likely no home game. The new selection process for the NIT is complete BS. That is a huge understatement ..... plus, I didn't know that they're not at MSG any longer for their final four.
