I just don't see the Big East passing up a chance to get two feet into the Florida football recruiting pool if it can. I would much rather have Tulance which equals a bi-yearly trip to the Big Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nybullsfan Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 2 reasons to include everybody1. The main reason for the tournament is to raise money for the league - the more teams in the tourney, the more potential money for the league.2. Since it comes with an autobid to the NCAAT, it should include all teams from the conferenceThat said, winning 5 in a row is virtually impossible. Cuse is the only team that did it 4 in a row under the old systemI think the proposal to play 1-16, 2-15, 3-14, 4-13 on the first day, then 5-12, 6-11, 7-10, and 8-9 on the second day makes sense. third day on, same as now.

That's another move motivated by money.Point being, leagues are motivated by what draws $$ not what is in the best interest of competitiveness. That's why the Big Ten is probably going to expand, meanwhile conference championships are inherently inequitable since you don't have to play each team in your own conference yet a conference champion is crowned.If you like moves motivated by money, you better be part owner or something. If you're just a fan, you should be interested in moves to not give huge competitive advantages to others like our BE tournament does.(P.S. The format of the tournament had nothing to do with us losing the game; we'd have lost on 10 days of rest.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if they won more games they would be at an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if they won more games they would be at an advantage. The NFL cannot get around giving a 1st round bye without expanding the playoffs, they might as well give it to the best teams.That, and the best teams get 1 bye, not 2. Regardless, I'm not saying the BE is wrong with the structure of the tournament byes. I'm saying it's stupid to allow everyone in. Tournaments, usually by definition, contain some sort of exclusion. The reason to use less and less exclusion (as is going to happen with the NCAA tournament) is additional revenue; that's a bigger motivator than competition.
