I'm sure the Big 10's defenders will say that they have 18 teams and its harder to be one of the top 5 players in the conference than it is in say, the Ivy.

But the counter is that the AP's All-American teams are limited to five players a team (or so they did the last time I checked).

An Observer: I agree with your opinion on not allowing all eight in the ILT. As for many conferences the regular season has been debased to the point it’s gloried 4 month exhibition. Staying at four keeps some regular season significance.
One revision I’d love to happen is byes for top teams . For example top seed automatically advances to the conference championship game, #2 a QF bye and #3 and # 4 play the QF game.

This year I believe Ivy Woman’s basketball deserves 2-3 NCAA Tournament slots. Two could be reasonable but three is unlikely. Good thing The WNIT has 64 selections.

This year for the men one bid is fair. If Yale doesn’t win the Ivy Madness Tournament, then there’re deserving of the NIT. No matter whomever gets the Men’s bid I expect them to make some noise in the tournament just as HYP has done so for a decade now.
