The MVC is not G5. The Valley is FCS.

I realize that. I was equating what happened the G5 in Football with NIU and others getting the CFP shaft with no lube to how the Tournament Committee will now treat the MVC as just another bottom feeding one bid conference. If you can not get ISU in the field over Northwestern and Michigan State, the message is pretty clear that you need to win Conference tourney going forward.

All the air Michigan State gets is because of Tom Izzo. All season, they'd win 2 games and all of a sudden, they'd shoot up the rankings even though there were equal or better teams in the B1G getting 0 votes.

The media/committee/etc. just want to do everything for this guy even when his team is clearly mediocre and there are better options.

I b!tch a lot about it but until they start awarding auto-bids to regular season conference champs, then it's best to just realize they absolutely do not want the best possible tournament and are more worried about manufactured excitement and legacy.

I bet they tried everything they could to get St. John's in the field but just couldn't justify it even with their clearly lowered and biased leanings toward anything that will generate media hype.
Michigan State didn't get in because of Izzo, they got on because of Monty.
