I like having the low conferences get the play-ins. Everybody watched Grambling tonight. How much are you going to watch them after they're down 20 to Purdue?

Seth, you might be the person to remember this. In the early 90s, I feel like the NCAA tried to do fake play in games where four games of low conference champions were played at home gyms. Because I remember this is where I learned about Rider in New Jersey being the Broncs

it's a good point - and as Craig pointed out its a good way for them to earn units/cash for the conference - just hope they still feel like they are truly a full part of it
