[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 2008291, member: 9229"] You’re right, it’s hard to see how the Big 12 gets complete access for basketball but gets left out for football. But at the same time a tournament with no access for Duke and Kansas and Arizona seems completely illegitimate. Maybe the answer is that the Power 2 just uses its leverage to in essence take over the March Madness tournament by creating an invitational tournament and inviting all the deserving teams. Then maybe they settle with the NCAA to have a tournament with shared control / profit between the two entities. There’s probably a solution like that down the road. But the initial threat is going to be a B1G-SEC only tournament, which is I’ll be a brutal pill to swallow. [/QUOTE]
