how do we feel about this...do we want this to happen?
this question is mostly for Wichita fans ...houston was a lock, cincy getting the auto bid

the big time bracketologist (lunardi and palmer) had you guys on the outside, most of bracketmatrix you on the inside

Not sure I really care at this point, but it does seem a little unfair (I know, life isn't always fair) to release a 68 team bracket without all conference tournaments completed. We had a good chance to 'earn' our way into the tournament and I'm sure this would be 'salt in the wounds' to many WSU fans if the bracket was released and we were left out. If they decide to distribute NCAA credits for making the 'fictional' tournament, there would be a $hit storm.

They should double the amount of play in teams and go to a 72 man bracket. It would lesson the sting for the bubble teams that didn't get a chance to pad their resume a bit and help create a little sports centric dialog and debate which we could all use. Besides, if your still not in at that point you probably weren't going to make it in anyways.

Not sure I like the idea.

I'd like to see it. It would be excruciating, but I'd be interested to see who we would have been playing.

I still can't believe they just up and whacked the whole dang thing

I think it's good to recognize the players for their achievements, as well as allowing schools "invited" to claim tourney appearances.

I'd like to see it, especially with the lack of sports occurring at the moment. Would give us something else to focus on/debate

Would it officially count for streaks? IE UNC streak would be over?

This would be more for the coaches that get bonuses than the players imo. Don't see the point in it because it's not the actual bracket. Not all games were played.

Banners...most school have banners for ncaa tourneys...an official list means a banner..

rutgers a lock, hasnt been to a tourney in 30 years, an official list means they can say they made a tourney, penn state in 11 years. most of houston coaches a publicly pushing for it, so the players can hang a banner for the ncaa tournament this year

Better have an asterisk on that banner.

If the NCAA goes through with a bracket reveal then I think every school that makes the field should just claim a national championship.
