In response to penn nation
Well, the stupid and annoying tourney has definitely aroused fan interest. I'll concede it that, although I never questioned that aspect. I wonder if dropping $10 bills from an airplane over the South Bronx would arouse the neighborhood?
OK, ignore what I just said in jest. Since the tourney was what the players, coaches and ADs wanted, we have it and it certainly has sparked tha also-rans in the later stage of the season.
But, since there is little immediate prospect for a second bid, can we tweak the tourney rules next year to give more recognition to the 14 game winner while still leaving the door open for a strong contender to take away the bid? I'm afraid that harvard now looks to be the regular season favorite for next season. But, I don't think it's right that any champion (not even Penn ) or harvard) face the additional barriers that Princeton may have to this year without so much as a bye or home court advantage in the tourney.
