Thank you for actually engaging in reality by Gregmorrissey

Reasonable people can disagree. And, it appears we do which is fair. I’m on the record of thinking a four round tournament of 12-16 teams is fair. I can certainly see the argument that 17 games may be too much. If compromising on that point then I’d suggest dropping regular season games before shrinking the playoff field.

And I don’t think that scuttling expansion was on the table. Group of 5 was threatening litigation. Most of Power 5 was pissed off about lack of access (22 of 28 spots filled by 5 teams). And that’s before even mentioning the extra $1.2B in TV money ANNUALLY.

How do you think old Jack would have been heralded here if they trotted out an 8 team proposal with 6 guaranteed spots? ACROSS’s vivid descriptions would have been even more graphic I’m afraid.
