NM...I screwed up and forgot South Carolina left. Don't know how I could possibly forget that.
I guess you'd have to break it all down, but if you had 10 members and got 50%, and went to 14 and got 50%, those extra 2 teams in the dance and the resulting potential money might work.
I do favor the smaller number with the round robin though.Last edited by paulxu; 02-15-2017 at 04:37 PM. Reason: Too much bourbon

Who, the ACC or the Big East??
The ACC had eight until Florida State joined in 1992.
You're far more likely to boost the power rankings with ten than with 14, 5-out-of-10 will happen far more frequently than 7-out-of-14 or for that matter 6-out of 12. Just look at the Big Twelve. They're down to ten, and they almost always get more than half of their teams in. Hell, the Big East has gotten half or more in in two out of the three years. I think it only managed to get half or more of the teams in twice since it went beyond ten. They may have done it one more year, but they certainly weren't doing it with regularity the way we are now."You can't fix stupid." Ron White

UConn
Just remember. Didn't Fr. Graham say that we were staunchly pro A10 right up until the press conference at MSG!

South Carolina left the ACC (1971), which took it to 7 teams for a few years. Georgia Tech joined (1979), they went back to 8, and then to 9 with Florida State.
I edited my post, but you grabbed it quick!! Percentages of teams in is one measuring factor. Total dollars earned in the tournament is another....he went up late, and I was already up there.
