[QUOTE="EthanM, post: 2014756, member: 173451"] I would LOVE to see this turn into a promotion/relegation system similar to association soccer leagues across the world. It’s probably the only sport in America (or college basketball) where this could be possible. Have a 16 or 18 team league round robin, top team wins the championship, bottom three teams get sent down. Repeat that down through all of the teams into D-3 or wherever. The historical conference alignments are dead. And nobody wants to see teams go 0-fer and continue to stay up playing the top teams. Give teams that are succeeding at lower levels a legit chance to move up and play the next tier of teams the following year. [/QUOTE]
