No, and it wouldn't have to be a 32 team tournament.
In fact, I bet the NCAA Tournament would look just about the same if you got rid of the conference tournaments.

Discussions about not having conference tournaments

It might be time for conference tournaments to go away anyway.

The conference tournaments are de facto extensions of a 357 team, quasi-double elimination tournament

I get that and it's fun, but regular season conference championships

"The regular season should mean more" - why don't we just do a 4-team playoff

It would be nothing like football. You'd still have the same amount of teams and

Conference tournaments? They're good, but not that great.
Jeffacka

That they are a play-in to the tournament. That is the best part.
Sea Chicken

Sure, but look at how some conferences make sure that's not going to happen.
Jeffacka

But not even remotely close to the way football makes sure it doesn't happen.

And yet every single team still has a chance if they get hot. Something BYU

It worked fine that way for many years. Did it bother you back then?

Yep, and it was a 32 team tournament. You want that again?

No, and it wouldn't have to be a 32 team tournament.

My bad. I thought you were advocating for a tournament of only conference

No, every conference would still have an auto-bid. They'd just send their

For this year. I'm okay with that especially because BYU rarely does well there.

Because there are people who need the vaccine more

It's a small drop in the ocean of vaccine doses available right now

There are still people that need it more that aren't allowed to get it yet

Yeah I love basketball but I’d way rather my dad get the vaccine than watch a conference tournament right now.

Your dad isn't going to not the vaccine because a college bball player did.

The rollout of the vaccine is absolutely based on prioritization. I can't see

What would you put as the delay time if bball players received the vaccine first?

Who knows... point is that they are young and healthy and don't need it.

I'm also 100% in the let them play camp. But I'd rather they get vaccinated than not be allowed to play.
