Nothing “low” about being one of the top 16. Good grief.
I'm sorry I disrespected a hypothetical 24th ranked uconn that would be invited to the broader more expansive tournament. What shall my penance be, sir?

When
No. 2, I'll cross that bridge when it shows on the horizon. I.e. no time soon.
They just had their first winning season since 2010. I'm rooting for a major conference affiliation, but they will never be considered as an Independent.
They have to straighten out the CFP timeline. Everything else falls into place.
1st of all, the playoffs will expand. The P4 can't help themselves.

Getting very defensive there, don't need to play the victim.
Only possible access to an unaffiliated improving program like ours is more participation. Competitors compete, unless they don't get a chance, ie are denied access.

And a tournament which overincludes is silly. Participation trophies so we all feel special gooder.

Meaning cartel filed test ballon to continue to leverage and stack the deck more. Will follow up with a revised strategy to take over.
Up to your old tricks Patman. Sarcasm and insults are a poor replacement for wit and intelligence. Don't worry, we all still love you(sortof).
I care only about UConn, not some hypothetical dilution of the "product". We all know that every rule change is intended to keep the riff raff like us out of the CLUB and on the street. I will take anything that improves our odds of being a "participant" in the process. How many basketball championships would we lose if the rules for entry into the tournament never changed from the 70's?

Like every other NCAA tournament in every other sport including football's other divisions?
Guessing you might be onto something there!! Frightening thought, but certainly not inconceivable.

Generally over a 10 game sample in the playoffs the favorite shouldnt win every time. For reference the NFL favorite are actually 5-5 (might be 6-4 but I forget who was the favorite in the washington/tampa game). In a normal year I would expect the favorites to be in the neighborhood of 7-3 over a 10 game sample
Worth watching as time marches on.
