Message: [QUOTE="kirbivore, post: 2102443, member: 952"] someone less lazy than me should analyze the amount of money a one bid league makes annually on a conference tourney compared to tourney credits from pulling the occasional upset. In this year's Ohio Valley Conference tournament #1 Belmont lost in the semi-finals. This is a team that beat Duke a few years ago and if Belmont had made this year's big dance they would've been in the 12-14 seed range. Now the team that beat Belmont (Jacksonville St.) won the OVC auto bid tonight and will most likely be a 16 seed in the play in game. If the money worked out these smaller leagues should award the auto bid to the regular season champ and do away with the conference tourney. [/QUOTE]
