In response to sparman
To be clear, while I did not prefer a tournament - what I think is the principal gripe is it being hosted at the Palestra. Mike James said the odds of Princeton beating Harvard on a neutral court are roughly the same as beating Penn on the road. So, it further warps the seeding as well. I'd prefer a tournament that rewards regular season performance, either with a home game or a bye - but at the minimum, it should be at a neutral court.
My idea where the conference gets an automatic bid - but the NCAA can choose between the regular season winner or the tournament winner is too radical, I think.
