Unfortunately the affects of realignment are not always immediately felt.

The B1G and SEC want to change college basketball payouts by expanding the number of teams in the tournament. They'll probably get their way.

When that happens you'll probably start to a lot more play in games that act as byes for all the other teams.

Then you'll probably see quotas for the number of teams conference will get it in the tournament further squeezing the smaller conferences, and the payout will greatly benefit conferences with multiple teams in the tournament, not to mention how they will tier units to make even more money.

In this type of scenario, Big East units might be worth much less than SEC or B1G units, very hypothetical, but not unrealistic to consider.

I hate all of what the B1G and SEC have done and are trying to do.

But as a fan, I would much rather be a part of the influence than part of the rest of the group that is forced to grin and bear it.
