I feel the same way about the NBA. I'd much rather go the D2 men's Elite 8.

Re: The B1G: The rich get richer
Originally posted by Herb Street View PostCorrect. Having all these levels of "national championships" has never made a lot of sense to me. No one outside of hard core homers of these schools care. The true college national champions are of the Division I variety. In pro golf, should we have the Web.com U.S. Open, limited only to those golfers who didn't make the PGA Tour? In pro baseball, should we have the Rookie League World Series? Should we have a Division 2 and 3 Olympics for all those athletes who couldn't make the real Olympics?
I think the whole "national championship" thing for small school athletics only serves to tarnish and trivialize the programs, many of which are of very high quality. The fan interest is local. That's a good thing - keep it there!
How else are we all going to be able to point and laugh at how bad the Northeast region is unless we have a playoff where their winner gets smoked when they run into a good team from the South, Texas, The Midwest, from around the Great Lakes???

Re: The B1G: The rich get richer
Originally posted by Dozsa2 View PostI get your point, I know everyone looks down on SR1 and I'm aware that I'm opening myself up to lots and lots of ridicule by saying this, but I'm going to stick up for SR1 here. NDC lost to the eventual national champion by 4 points in the semifinals last year. Point and laugh if you want, but NDC didn't get 'smoked.' It pains me to say this, but IUP didn't get 'smoked' the year before. Neither did Shepherd in 2016. Shepherd got pounded in 2015, but that was in the national championship game.

Originally posted by bigmrg74 View PostIt's been a tradition to bag on the NE region every year ever since they managed to get the GLIAC booted out of the region over 15 years ago.
It wouldn't be the best SR ever, but I wouldn't mind SR1 consisting of GLIAC, GMAC, PSAC and NE10.
