No more than half your conference, and a max of 6 teams from one conference.

Each team must have a .600 or better winning % in conference play, including their conference tournament. .595 won't cut it. If your team is 11-7 going into the conference tourney, you better win at least one.

If you win your conference regular season title but fail in the conference​ tournament , you are guaranteed a bid in the play in game if you aren't an at large candidate. Teams here are subject to the prior rule, if you aren't .600 or better in conference, you stay home, but you do get an NIT Auto bid.

NFL type scheduling- each year, a top 10 rpi conference must play a home and home with one team from 2 designated local conferences from the lower 22 conferences weighted by RPI.

i.e. last years #4 SEC team = #5 conference​ RPI - plays OVC team #4 last season H&H, AND plays A-SUN #4 team H & H. And the ncaa mandates the play dates. Dont make a play date, you're not going dancing.

Teams qualifying for the NCAA are ranked by winning %, and no other criteria is used. Your team is 33-1, then you get a #1 seed. No matter the conference you came from. Your team is 18-14, but the selection committee thought you needed to be there (Mich. St), then you get a 16 seed.

2nd, 3rd & 4th place teams from every conference not in the ncaas get an auto bid into the nit if they are over .600 in all games.

Never, ever blindly allow the conference champ in if they lose in their tournament. When every Smaller conference does this, then what? Why wouldn't you tank for extra credits?

I'm good with half a conference max. I know people harped on Vandy, but I want their schedule encouraged.

There are simple rules that could be put in place that would help things. Only half of your non conference games can be home games is where I would start. I'd love to see what that would do.

I really want to see 2 teams from every conference and rank them 1-64 by winning percentage only. Then play and share the money equally. No more deep run credits, etc. Every team plays, every team should benefit.

The ACC is just about to be 0-8 on the first weekend
