I posted my thoughts on this about a year or two ago. The non-anointed conferences need to get out in front of this parade. They need to walk away from the current tournament.
Look - the Power conferences have already set themselves apart in football. They have their own rules and can pass anything they want at the NCAA level. It doesn't take long for that mindset to become the standard way of thinking for them in all matters. We are seeing it clearly taking hold now in basketball. The Power football and other media anointed conferences have, via the selection committee, made it clear over the last couple of years that they believe this is their tournament, and they will only accept those few other schools they have to (conference tourney winners) and a very limited number of others that have media marketability.
As long as the rest of us play by their rules, we are guaranteed losers. Has it ever been clearer than this year? The rest of us have to find a way to destroy the current tournament.

A couple years ago I said on this board that we may never get an at large again. I said that because of the way the landscape was shifting away from mid majors and the A10/MW and toward the P5. That thought occurred to me again last week and I was looking forward to calling myself out on it and being wrong. Then of course we get the screw job. I have gone form being irate to sad because I keep reading article after article about how we were screwed. Obviously its natural to feel your team gets screwed but many times we cant see the forest through the trees. Today that is not the case. We got fucked without a kiss and it sucks. Until something changes and a new committee comes in that wont slight the non P5's, the only way in may be to win the A10. St. Joes was going to get in even if they didn't win... come on man.... ARE THE A BIG SCHOOL? NO.... Play bigger schools... and please stop mentioning Monmouth.... Monmouth played a good OOC schedule, but there Conference schedule is poor, so there overall SOS was 200+ with 200 RPI + losses. You probably shouldn't curse... Your sophomoric behavior is quite off-putting. Is it fun being a gigantic loser? It must be since you keep coming back to this board under different handles each time but spouting the same crap. Move along

Top 50 wins are good. They're what got Michigan, Temple, Tulsa, Vanderbilt (well, not really, since they only had one) and Syracuse into the tournament.
Where's the credit for: A - being 3-1 vs the Top 50? B - TIED WITH KANSAS & OKLAHOMA WITH A NATION-LEADING TWO TOP 25 ROAD WINS C - Actually, you know, BEING a Top 50 RPI team?

This year's NCAA Committee: SHHHHH!!! Don't point these facts out!! People will realize there are more positive points for The Bonnies to be "in" the Big Dance rather than "out"....Stick to the "out of conference schedule" with these guys and we should tell the media enough to justify our wants and desires.....
