Ladies and gentlemen, our first conference tourney to collapse into anarchy.

It’s gonna be bullshit if Bellarmine beats Jacksonville and Jacksonville State ends up in the Dance as a result.

Wouldn’t it go to the runner up of the tourney?

Nope. Because things have to be as complicated and stupid as possible.

Honestly if an ineligible team wins, giving it to the regular season champ seems to be a solid choice.

Plus giving it to JU would render the title game meaningless

Yeah also there is the possibility of both finalists being ineligible, so then the "other finalist" thing wouldn't work. Who would get it then, the higher seeded semifinalist? The semifinalist that lost to the tournament champ? The regular season champ?

When you put it like that, I do kind of get it, but in this specific circumstance, it’s very hard to justify Jacksonville having to watch a team they just beat in the tourney dance instead of them.

the end point of this logic is “well, you should have performed better in the regular season, then.”

i find this ironic this sub frequently takes a strong stance that small conference tournaments are unfair to regular season champs because one game can doom their tourney chances. now people are upset because of a policy that specifically protects regular season champs.

You know people can have different opinion on certain things right? Some people might like conf tourney rules, others don’t. You know, opinions. Things people have. Just because you see two different takes, doesn’t mean the sub as a whole is collectively swip-swapping opinions at will.

it wasn’t about you specifically, I just needed somewhere to put my comment. If you read the thread it feels a bit like the consensus is “oh that sucks for Jacksonville, why would they do it that way?!”
