Subject: Don't like the new format

I don't like the new format either. If the conference is concerned that the best team (presumably regular season conference winner) doesn't advance then we should go back to no conference tournament.

In the current format the #1 is hardly there. If the tourney is about your conference don't you think more fans from all schools will want to see the best teams. Isn't playing 7/10, then 4/5 enough of a reward for being # 1, especially in the MAAC lately where #1 and #4 are not that different. I think they are making the MAAC tourney more about the next step and not about the CONFERENCE. If you get tripped up in 7/10 or 4/5, are you really that much better than the rest of the league.

I think a better improvement is to fix the scheduling somehow. Isn't the 3/6 (?) game winner basically screwed because they finish late Friday (?) and play at noon (or something like it) on Saturday. That is just unfair. Unless I have FU's depth, PIG might be better than 6.
