My focus is the NCAA bid. Any way you think you can improve the competition for what should be the consolation prize, fine. The season winner would have plenty of motivation, as well as pride, to perform well in the tourney as it might affect its seeding at the Dance. As the Ivies continue to strengthen, there should be additional pressure for a second bid -- especially if there is a tight race for the championship followed by an upset in the tourney by a close runner-up. As I implied before, the NIT should be an afterthought. It is a CONSOLATION tournament to extend a team's season and perhaps sharpen it for the following season. For Ivies, some may wish to pass it up after say, a disappointing season or for personal concerns (ahh...they are busy students, too). |
