Past performance isn't a guarantee of future of results. The greater trend in college basketball for fewer at large bids for non P5/Big East schools might not have trickled down to the A10 yet but the trends aren't encouraging for schools outside the power conferences
Efforts by major conferences to play more conference games will only hurt mid-major schools that are eager to earn at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament.
“Moving to 20 league games is going to change the entire model,” one Big Ten athletic director told FanRag Sports. “
They want to wipe out the non-Power 5 schools from getting at-large bids completely. Moving to 20 games makes that more of a realistic possibility.”
