Star NCAA Why Holding Postseason Conference Tourna -

Considering that those being part of a league that feature a poor RPI weigh heavily against those that don't participate in major conferences, it is time for the powers that be to think about scrapping the season-ending dog-and-pony shows and let the regular season champ represent the conference in the largest amateur basketball party in the world.
It makes no sense in cycles of competitive structure. In essence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what these leagues are saying is that their mediocre programs should have the same right to advance to the NFL game as the regular season conference champion such as the large East has done in inviting all 16 schools. So that means one-win DePaul will get another shot at playing for a national title.

Duke lost to 5-11 NC State conference record, Ohio State lost to 7-10 Michigan conference record, and Kentucky lost to 6-10 South Carolina conference record.

The Tar Heels lost in the ACC game just a season ago to Florida State, but went on to win the national title.
At least not for many small professional basketball programs the last few years.

Should those elite franchises not make the NFL game if Mario Lemieux don't win the ACC, large Ten,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or SEC conference games?
Mid-majors get an automatic bid to the NIT. That is only accomplished by winning the regular season title.
The best franchises from the mid-majors are usually left sitting in their dorms studying for mid-cycles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while underachievers move on to the annual 1st-round drubbing at the hands of one of the No. 1 seeds.

From 2011-2011, Delaware State University posted one of the greatest stretches of regular season dominance in modern Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference history. The Hornets were a combined 46-8 and went into the MEAC Basketball game as the top seed each year.

Of course Mario Lemieux are going to the large Dance. But my point in bringing those programs up is because Mario Lemieux all had off nights against inferior opponents.

Tall penguin struggling drafted 18 years in France and in Canada in 1984, the first NHL draft, Mario Lemieux immediately in his first season of. Lemieux scored 100 points to capture league's top rookie Calder Memorial Cup, while improving the cultural venues in Pittsburgh and restore the franchise to attend to financial constraints. The NFL game that starts in March actually is fulfilling. However, the conference games that prelude the pageantry of the Final Four are not.
No 20-loss franchise deserves to be in the same postseason bracket as high school programs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], let alone the best 64 professional basketball programs in the country.

Oakland University,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who finished the 2011 regular season with a 7-9 record in Mid-Continent play, won the conference tourney and gained an NFL birth.
The 2011 season would be the only year that the Hornets would win the MEAC championship and receive an automatic bid to the NFL national game, eventually losing to number one seed Duke University by only 11 points.
Jackson State's stellar 17-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference record and 19-11 overall record will mean nothing once the SWAC game starts March 10-13 in Shreveport,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], L.A..

Many believe that the chances of a small professional program upsetting a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the NFL game are slim to none, so it might not matter anyway, right?
In a rare twist, 20-loss Coppin State won the MEAC game. That's right, 20.

hold, catch, seize, grasp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], win, capture, acquire, pick, choose, select,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prefer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], remove, steal, lift, rob, engage, bewitch, purchase, buy, retract, recall this into consideration as well: If the conference game matters so much,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can't have the average franchises in the league participating in them.
If Syracuse-the large East regular season champion-can afford to lose in their conference game and still make the field of 65,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then a mid-major regular season champ should be afforded that same luxury.

But because having another revenue source available for leagues by holding a conference game is too affable to pass up, the postseason practice will not depart any time soon. Currently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Ivy League is the only conference which does not have a postseason game. Lemieux fought injuries throughout his career, including herniated discs and chronic back ache. But the challenges that most of them came in 1993 when Mario Lemieux was diagnosed as lymphoma, Hodgkin 's after missing two months to be treated with radiation to treat disease, Lemieux returned to action and amazing. Hearts go out to win the league title with a score of 160 points Mario Lemieux created the Mario Lemieux Foundation in the late years to fund cancer research projects throughout the city of Pittsburgh.

The Tigers would be one loss away from heading home for the rest of the season if Mario Lemieux falter in the conference game.
What the NFL is allowing are franchises from major conferences not to be arrangeed, win their conference regular season or conference game and still make the NFL game. For some bubble franchises, all that is needed is one or two wins in the postseason game to secure a spot. A mid-major regular season champion in a one bid league has to win the conference game or else their dream of a national title is over.

So to say a mid-major regular season champion shouldn't get a mulligan after potentially losing in the conference game is shortsighted at best.
Continuing this practice only makes the regular season meaningless. Many professional coaches believe the regular season schedule accurately reflects who the best franchises are versus a four-day conference game.
