Any comparisons of the IL to a "Power 5" conference are absurd. There is very little riding on the outcome of those power conferences' post-season tournaments. The IL has constructed a two-day tournament with everything (i.e. the NCAA tournament bid) riding on it. The league needs to find an appropriate way to provide an advantage to the regular season champion if it is going to persist with this folly.
PS I don't understand the obsession with having the men's and women's tournaments in the same location. Do the Ivies do this for any other sport? Lacrosse tournaments are held at home of the regular season champions.
Who compared the IL to power 5? The only thing I did was point out none of the issues raised here are unique to IL.
And you guys talk like there is some small group of decision makers in a room deciding the details about this tournament and no one else agrees. The reality is the anti-IL complainers on here are in the definitive minority. Almost everyone wants the tourney.
