Making the Case for a Second MAC Team in the NCAA Tournament

The NCAA tournament, March Madness, is a sports fan’s paradise. Everyday I run into someone that says they don’t follow college basketball, but they watch the tournament. It’s great, the country losses billions in labor from people taking off work, but then makes it back with all the games and commercials, give or take a few 100 million.

However, it’s terrible for determining a champion. 68 teams that all played a regular season, slammed together in a one loss and you’re out tournament. Basketball is a sport where match-ups are extremely important, and teams go hot and cold.
