[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1005445, member: 4110"] The way the system is structured explains the public relations/media blitz by the Uber-conferences (BIG & SEC) to enhance perception of conference strength in the preseason and early pre-conference season. The NCAAT payouts are based on games played. The more teams from a particular conference in the field, the more games they play. Most of the money made is made in the first weekend where 100 games are played (whereas the second weekend only 24 games are played). So just getting teams in is the most efficient means to securing the most revenues. Actually being dominant is more problematic and not the most secure route to leave the tournament with the honeypot. Since the NCAAT selection algorithm is based on strength of schedule, and there are initial inputs on team rankings before the games are played, the money conferences will go all in to invest to enhance strength of schedule standing for conference members [B]before the season begins[/B]. This is critical in the gaming of the system. Only conferences with preseason premier power rankings will have a chance to dominate the NCAAT field in a system where parity actually exists. [/QUOTE]
