UConn about to take down Houston. This should help us in a couple ways. Houston is the near the same seed line as us and makes our win vs UConn look a little better. Let’s see if it helps with our NET.

Worked for UNC

Student athletes getting paid though with court testimony. Their whole reasoning was the UNC thing was an academic issue. I will be happy to see how this turns out for certain schools.

Over the years he has risked his credibility by just trying to become another personality in sports media. He more or less is just trying to entertain and has now made his projections based on his views with a little shock value, as opposed to trying to truly guess how the committee will pick the field.

How long of a time period? 2 years? 15 years? 20 years? And I’ll figure it out for you. Want me to do at large mid majors who are 9 seeds and lower? Teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, AAC, Pac12, SEC with what? 12, 13, 14 or 15 losses?

Let’s go from the turn of the century. The other parameters seem fair. Those 7 conferences you listed with 12 or more losses vs everyone else 9 seeds and up. Should we set a minimum win number on those teams? My original post was referencing Lunardi saying a low major stacking wins against bad competition. Obviously going to have to go off of winning % either way, but I’d hope we can agree that some random 15-win low major that stumbled into a conference tourney title isn’t better than a 13-loss high major. That’s why I ask about a minimum number of wins. 
 

I really am curious to see how it shakes out. 
 

*For the record, I’d rather watch a high major team in the dance regardless of how this goes, but that’s strictly my opinion.

Some will stop up to like 90% but you are correct they will not stop all

It gets people talking and clicks on their site. He has IU close because we have a massive following. It’s doo doo.

I think most of your low major teams who got at larges as a 9 seed or lower will probably be around 20+ wins. I won’t look at any conference tourney champs since it would be teams getting at large bids vs the low major teams he would rather get bids over them.

Well the key was the classes weren’t just for athletes too. Wonder if adidas wants to give out 6 figures to a few random students to make this all go away.

I think most of the at large low majors who have gotten at large bids as a 9 seed and lower have had 20+ wins, but VCU may have had like 19 going in before their Fjnal Four Run.

True. Any mid/low-major at-large should make it fair then. Although I do think a conference like the A-10 will sway it because I’m not sure I’d consider it a true mid-major. His specific example of ETSU, which I’d definitely consider a low major, is what sparked this.

I’ve looked into it before. Most of those really good A-10 teams are higher seeded. There are some but most are higher seeded.

Arizona State up 9 at home against Washington with 14 minutes left.

Stanford losing by 6 to Oregon State with 11 minutes left.

Memphis up a 12 with 13 minutes left against Wichita State.

Honestly nothing at this point would surprise me. Either way they move it will even the playing field. If they do nothing? It’s open season. If they put the hammer down? 50 consultants are brain storming the next way to play in the gray. These teams are just the sacrificial lamb until the next one.
