At least according to this, we are a 0 bid league. Unless I overlooked a C-USA team, which is very possible. And yes, I do know it is a mistake by Joe Lunardi and our conference tournament champion automatically makes the tournament.

He has MTSU in the first 4 out. Probably just an oversight.

I think he has 2 from the Southern and there is no way they get 2.

Plenty of time to correct it.

But, if the top 6 teams work on their OOC schedule, and the conference does what they are talking about, I could see us working our way to 2 bids a year in the future.

MTSU & WKU are close. We might be closer if Richmond & Chattanooga were not so bad and we replaced a couple of patsies with competitive games.

We could definitely work the league back up to two bids. It would help if the bottom wouldn’t be awful, but the top can do it on their own if they schedule well enough. We haven’t done our part, but i have hope we can in the near future.
