First NET rankings come out Monday

As far as I know, the conference tournaments are still happening. At least with the larger leagues. It wouldn't surprise me to see some of the smaller ones canceled(NEC, SWAC, MEAC etc.) But I'm sure the would come at a cost even though, probably minimal in nature.

I suspect they are trying to make them happen, that's why mum on the word. They don't want to lose the revenue 2 years in a row. I think bubbling twice over 2 weeks is too much of a risk. I'd rather lose the conference tourneys and see the 68 happen smoother. Honestly, they should make it 64, but ... meh.

I think for the small conferences, it's a no-brainer. You're not getting that much revenue anyway, and you now you put your best team in the dance.

My buddy made an interesting point today when we were discussing this. He thinks all games this year should be looked at as neutral court games when it comes to Quadrant designation ( since there's no fans ). Like why should a home win over #31 be worse than a road win over #63 in a year with no real home court advantage ? I think thats a reasonable debate to have

It definitely shouldn't hold as much weight as in normal years. Especially because not all teams will get a home and home.
