Interesting read from Jeff Borzello at ESPN.

Claims p5 (poor sad UConn) are dumping MTE moving forward in favor of big payday NIL tournaments and/or home and home with other p5s that maximize home game revenues in big arenas.

Flat out says p5s playing mids will be a thing of the past unless mids willing to do 1 off buy games.

Get used to only being able to schedule SWAC teams in the Convo.

Amazing it was only a few years ago when Ohio was in a tournament with Baylor, Villanova, Utah and Tulane.

Those days are long gone and very sad.

I have deep concerns the NCAA is going to eventually shut-out the mid-majors from the NCAA Tournament down the road.

Oh, really? Interesting.

Honestly, do you think Alabama wants a non conference schedule of ONLY P4 programs? Are you stupid? As a P4, why would you willingly play a gauntlet of non conference opponents before your conference schedule??? Do you think Danny Hurley wants to play 12 tough games before he gets into Big East play? I would absolutely call their bluff - go ahead take us all (G5 and other non P4 conferences in basketball) off the schedule. Let's see how that goes. You then create another layer of "Haves" and "Have Nots" - and someone in the P5 aint gonna be happy. Please, for once, have an ounce of critical thinking ability.
