Proposed change to all conference tourney's

So far 2 of 4 #1 seeds of conferences did not win its tournament. I think this is totally unfair. Unfortunately money is the driving factor for these tourneys and crying, whinning, complaining, moaning and pitching a fit will never change this.

So I have a proposal that will change this. The top 2 seeds of each conference should get an automatic bye to the semi-finals. For the low and mid-major conferences this rewards a great season. For the major conferences it lets the top teams win the tourney without having to play 3 games in 3 days.

This is the most fair option. This rewards the top teams for winning. If you think that this is not fair to the other teams. Guess what I think, TOO BAD. It should be tougher for the teams without a quality regular season to get the automatic bid.

I don't care if a conference has 8 teams and this will throw a monkey wrench in creating a bracket. Figure it out. You have all ready sold out your conference champion the least you can do is take a little extra time to reward them for the effort.

The conference tournaments are all about the $. Out of curiousity, I ran the numbers for the Big East (http://atleagle.blogspot.com/2005/03/snubs-and-success-indicators.html) and success in the Big East tournament has little correlation with success or failure in the NCAAs.
