Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 564053, member: 214"] I assume that, along with the rights to the Big East name, the Catholic 7 will retain the rights to the automatic bid. Will the American 12 get an auto bid immediately, or will there be a probationary period? Adding another auto bid means eliminating an at large slot. The last time a new auto bid was added (MWC in 2001), the NCAA responded by taking the field to 65 and introducing the play in game. Will the NCAA take the opportunity of the American 12 addition to expand the field to 72, or even more? [/QUOTE]
