It still would be pointless. Yeah you get to watch them compete against the best teams in the country, but the results aren't nearly as big of a problem as they would be now. 96 teams UC easily gets in this year, meaning what UC has done so far against the top teams is meaningless. Put it like this, do you think a team doing what UC has done has earned a spot to go for the national championship? UC has the talent to be able to play for it, but they haven't produced on the court. Yet you think they should reward that?
Thats the whole point of the regular season being meaningless. I think, unless they go with my idea of reg and post season champs get auto bids, it only helps the big power conferences. They would then have no reason to schedule decent OOC opponents. Thus making it nearly impossible for non power schools to improve year to year.
What about a school like Gonzaga. We would all be in their shoes. Or even X. They have no threat to not go to the tournament because they will easily get to 20 wins because of the conference. They seem to like it OK.
