Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5103242, member: 5685"] Since going to 68 teams the 4 extras bids have gone to (by current conferences): 31 - P5 (ACC, Big East, B1G, B12, SEC) 17 - Mid-Majors (AAC, A10, MWC, WCC) 4 - Little Guys (CUSA, MAAC, MVC) So nearly 60% of the extra at large bids went to the P5. I think you will see similar with any expansion of at large bids. Nearly 33% went to your so called mid-Majors (although one can argue that MVC is a Mid-Major). An expansion would benefit them. If you count the MVC as a Mid-Major, the little guys have gotten zero at large bids since 2013, and only 2 out of 52 overall. They aren't likely to get at large bids in an expanded field. And if you include regular season conference champs, they will get 0.0 at large bids going forward. [/QUOTE]
