[Jason Svoboda]

Hilarious how so short sighted people are. This is the Cleveland State AD:

He was at Kansas State when the vote was made serving as "Executive Associate Athletics Director for External Operations and Chief Revenue Officer where he was responsible for various aspects of department administration, including strategic revenue generation initiatives and fan experience programming." So am I to believe wasn't keeping current on significant legislation that was being implemented? Really?

All AD's who voted to let the P5 run everything:

Wait, what?

Given my love for any tournaments outside of the actual tournament that matters it will come to no surprise to anyone that I’m not bothered by this change…

I mean it’s obviously not great for mid majors who are already getting the shaft. I think we should probably start advocating for them expanding the field again. It can’t hurt at this point.

Almost a decade later... crazy how some of us knew exactly what was coming.

There's nothing crazy about it -- the P5's desire to consume ALL tv money for themselves was an easy call

and frankly 95% of the posters on this site, know what the hell they're doing wrt college athletic "study"

He knew - but at Kansas State, they were at the table with the rest of the P5

now that he's at Cleveland State, he sees how small the "pie" is as well as standing outside of the banquet hall

LoL -- why the fuck would the P5 EXPAND the NCAA for mid-majors?

Give em another 5 years and the NCAA will only be P3-P4 with only "top mid major conf tourney winners" in the NCAA; the SWAC, MEAC, Summit, etc Conf Tourney Champs will get the NIT for their post=season

I've had a gut feeling they will start messing with AQs to the Big Dance and this could be their test.

I'm all for expanding provided all conferences then get their regular season champ and tourney champ in as AQs -- provided they're not the same team.

there's no reason for the BIG conferences to push to expand the NCAA MBB tourney

how does that benefit them?

It doesn’t.

Just more money coming from more tourney shares. Some are possibly moving to non-equal distributions of their media deals to satisfy the "better brands" in their conference. At least this is what I'm sensing coming out of the ACC and Florida State back and forth.

hell -- once the ncaa board of directors leads a purge of all 'schools not deemed worthy' what says they won't shrink the tourney back to 64.

the ## of most viable ($$$) schools in ncaa div I is still roughly 64 schools -- wait until the $ec and the Big 20 10 start to attack conf members for "not hacking it"... Vanderbilt... Northwestern... Purdue... Wake Forest est -- when the P2/3 start attacking their fellow conf members, it will really get interesting
