That should make the real 14 game Champ justifiably furious, whoever that might be. Going forward, the future Champ should get the NCAA BID and the tourney winner should get the consolation NIT bid. If the same team wins both, let the NCAA decide if we get multiple bids like the Power 5 Conferences.
We've gone through this before.
1) Why would the regular season champ be "furious" about not going to the NCAA if they don't win the conference tournament? It happens several times a year every year. Everyone knows the rules.
2) What's in it for the NIT to agree to take a school that they don't want? They need to sell tickets. The NCAA probably doesn't give a **** if a one-bid conference sends its regular season champ or its 7th place team. Both will be underdogs in the first round anyway... Worst case scenario, the 7th place team goes to the play-in game and has a chance to win a game when everyone's watching.
