Thank you FBI

I know. I am making an analogy. I realize that it involves some reasoning, but try and follow:

Conference play results in standings. Whoever is atop the standings and the end of the regular season is the regular season champion, which you believe is the true measure of who is the "best" team, even if that team does not win the conference championship.

There are also National rankings, and at the end of the regular season the team atop those rankings is awarded the top seed in the NCAA tournament. By your logic, it would seem that you believed that Duke, which finished the regular 1998-99 season atop the rankings and was awarded the top seed in the NCAA tournament, was the "best" team in the country that season, even though they didn't win the National Championship.

Capisce?

Well lots of times the best team doesn't win the national championship. That's sort of a separate issue.

Conference tournaments are about $$$$$. Regular season champs proves who was the best team in the conference that year.

They are about crowning a champion to send to the NCAAs

because money. if the regular season champ got the autobid then attendance at conference tournaments would slip, especially for mid majors. it's all a part of the spectacle

Jmick is part of the millenial participation trophy era.


And his hatred of KO is so great that there is no doubt in my mind that if we had won a regular season title instead of a Conference tourney title he would use that Lack of a conference tournament titleas a bullet point of the failure of Kevin Ollie. No integrity just like Spartacus

You are an insufferable poster...also most conferences are not making $$ on conference tournaments. Certainly the power conferences are, but do you really think some of the lower tier conferences are having tournaments to make $$? If you do, I’ve got some prime investment real estate in China that I’d like to sell you.

it's not the only reason. it also gives your league a chance to have more teams enter the NCAA tournament. why would they want that? oh yeah, money.
