For the record, I am fine with the tournament the way it is, and don't feel strongly that it needs to be expanded. On the other hand, if it is expanded, I don't see how it's going to hurt much of anything.

What I'm not clear on is whether the NIT will continue? Or will that field just become part of the NCAA Tournament?

I am not sure either. I doubt it though since viewership will be even further eroded by expanded NCAA Tourney.

Really? I guess my five years working for the University of Arkansas' Athletic Department was unproductive. :( At least you set me straight.

This guy sure is big on jumping to conclusions.

It goes along with Hyteria, paranoid, and borderline illnesses.

You dont agree with my so obviously you don't know anything about basketball.

What your Bob Knight? Oh well you still don't know anything.

Wait your Coach Cal? Ya you don't know anything after all you don't agree with me.

Why isn't anyone really talking about the Big 6 and how its going to affect them. So what do we do just put the whole ACC in the tourney becuase all there RPI where below 100...this will be interesting!

There would not be the top 100 RPI schools it ends up much lower cause of the Auto-bids. The ACC would only expand by 1 team its the Big East that would expand by a lot and only them as a Big 6 Conference.

This is a list of the next schools that missed the tourney but would be in a 96 team tourney by RPI, not exact science but it gives you an idea of who would make it in most likely.

40 Rhode Island Atl10
43 Wichita St. Mvc
45 UAB Cusa
47 Kent St. Midam
53 Memphis Cusa
54 Dayton Atl10
55 Mississippi St. Sec
58 William and Mary Coln
59 Virginia Tech Acc
60 Seton Hall Bige
61 Mississippi Sec
63 Arizona St. Pac10
64 Connecticut Bige
65 Cincinnati Bige
66 VA Commonwealth Coln
67 Marshall Cusa
68 Tulsa Cusa
71 South Florida Bige
72 Texas Tech Big12
73 Nevada Wac
74 Illinois Big10
75 Northeastern Coln
76 Illinois St. Mvc
77 Charlotte Atl10
78 Louisiana Tech Wac
79 Portland Wcc
80 Wright St. Horiz
81 Fairfield Maac
82 St. John's Bige
83 IUPUI Midco
84 Morehead St. Ovc

Run Down of Conferences In
Power Conferences (11) ACC (1), Big 10 (1), Big 12 (1), Big East (5), Pac 10 (1), SEC (2)
Mid Majors/Small Conf (20 Total) A10(3), Colonial (3), CUSA (4), MVC (2), WAC (2), Plus others with 1 bid

Really in the end the Big East would have a Million teams in each year but there would also be another 18+ mid-majors that would make it as well each year or 20 this year.

haha exactly, I will admit when the #s aren't there.

Honestly though some of the 3rd tier websites do have a lot more BCS schools in. I tend to go with RPI when it comes to selection though cause usually selections are by the book until the last 3-4 teams in which anything can happen.

As much as the RPI sucks in saying who is the Best or Better, it does a great job in grouping teams into about 10-15 team blocks that you know are in the same realm of how good they are.

too lazy to read all this thread, but will wis change HD if the ncaa's change?

will they then change how this impacts prestige, hiring, firing, early entries and everything else that the tournament impacts?

Know more than enough about Basketball to keep up in any conversation.

Sounds like you just need to cool your jets.
