Some fans take pride in attendance championships rather than World Series victories.

Well, it is good for the small schools who get to play in it who otherwise only get one team in the NCAA tournament.

I don't understand what is wrong with playing a regular season and then a conference tournament. That's your season right there. NCAA is a bonus for teams that have EARNED something special (at least in theory).

I have a team of investors interested in creating a line of high-quality hats and t-shirts that celebrate press conference victories.

I hope that works for you as I'd hate for there to be loud voices in the room demanding changes even for the sake of optics.

All I can say at this time is that the situation is fluid...and that Kris Bryant is a drunk.
