Meaning less and less games against p5 schools for us. This will force those schools serious about BBall to break from those that are not. An auto bid is not the concern. Playing schools that do what is needed year in and year out to be in the top 100 RPI wise is. Archie said recently that in 3 years it was going to be really difficult to schedule games against p5 schools. Something is going to have change - and that likely means a new BBall centric conference. 11 schools - playing a round robin for 20 games.

And that's when the auto bid will matter. When you get no P5 games, then the new league becomes a very competitive two bid conference.
