Everybody's scared to come to JC

An interesting article along those lines on Deadspin wherein CUSA and Sun Belt are planning a pre-conference tournament round robin meant to bolster the RPI of the best teams in the conference, emphasis on how power conferences rig the regular season so that even their least deserving members make the NCAA tournament.

Pretty good article, and I hope it somehow works. However...….
1) I suspect it's more likely to raise a 14 seed to a 12 or 13 rather than an 11 (on average);
2) As one commenter stated, the big boys may well try some sort of rebuttal, or re-adjust as necessary.

But I sure applaud the attempt.
