You are talking about many different things, not that they are not important, but I would just like to discuss one, the at-large bid. With any one of 6 teams able to win the MPSF tournament, why would the NCAA look elsewhere? And why would they look beyond the MPSF tournament champion and the runner-up?
The MPSF members have agreed to the tournament and they need to live with that format. They have for many years. It's all part of the game.
The NCAA uses the money question to their own advantage as needed. I take anything they say about money, or lack of it, with a grain of salt. The effect is greater in wome's VB because they have interjected the terrorist card and have set regional travel as the norm. Bad Idea.
