If only we could schedule a double round-robin tournament where every team plays every other team, once at home, once away, with the team achieving the best record being declared the champion. That would make the most sense by far.

Oh....wait....

Are you some kind of seditious provacateur?

We've been through this over the years.

Not having a post-season tournament is great if you like empty arenas and dispirited fan bases by the middle of the season.

Those of us who realize that college sports IS entertainment, not just a fitness activity for the participants, welcome the fact that NCAA Division I sports are intended to be bread and circus. Otherwise why even participate in the main tournament, anyway? You know the Ivies have no shot to win, so the fair thing would be to let the 8th best power conference teams take the places of all the "mid" "majors"

If you only care about "deserving" participants, do you really think that the NEC and MEAC champs are "deserving" of the right to play for the NCAA Division 1 championship? Beating up on Stonehill and Sacred Heart isn't exactly the same as taking on UNC and Duke like Georgia Tech has to...
