Why not? You could sell more hats. One of my friends' roommates a few years back played baseball at Morehead State. How would that be? You wear your school's stuff, and everyone thinks you are a jerk frat boy. What. Like the University of South Carolina hats (with a shortened version of their nickname) that seem to be popular among a certain segment of the male population? Or Oregon State.

Colorado wouldn't get Nebraska -- same conference rule. And Utah and Nebraska shouldn't meet in the first two rounds. Is that a rule now? I remember when Utah and BYU were together once, and Baylor and CU, but that might have been in 2001 when everything was just senseless.

"When pairing teams, the committee may avoid conference match-ups in the first and second rounds of the championship."
What the heck that mean??? MAY??? Intentionally vague???
I'm guessing one of CU, Utah, and BYU will host. If CU hosts and CSU gets in, they'll have the short trip to Boulder, but who know who else they would put in that group. What's the mileage limit on "driving distance"?

What's the mileage limit on "driving distance"? I've never heard of a potential 1st/2nd round matchup between conference members. I think they really want to avoid that, but leave room for the possibility that they might in an extreme case.

In the especially screwed up 2001 tournament, Wisconsin swept Michigan State in Madison in the second round. That was probably the best MSU team of this decade, but the Badgers were really good that year. Not a great draw for MSU, who had to play Notre Dame in the first round.
