2 Bid MAC bring more money and exposure. Doubling the postseason money gained is never a bad thing.

 

And when Miami OH gets pounded by 20+, any future push for a 2 bid MAC in the future will be that much more difficult. 

 

Sacrifice the money this year, snub Miami OH, and let the conversation be "what if" instead of "I told you the MAC is overrated."

If Miami gets in, it encourages creampuff scheduling. The selection committee is smart enough to know this.

 

If Miami had our schedule, they'd have at least 3-4 losses, and there would be no discussion about an at-large bid.

The selection committee is in a tough spot with Miami.

 

The bubble has collapsed, all of the bubble teams fell apart.

 

Miami went and lost to a .500 MAC school in the tournament, but they're 31-1.

 

Miami's 11/11 Dayton game would be its first against even a Q2 opponent., but all of these bubble teams are 18-15 or some crap too.

 

I don't envy that discussion that they're gonna have.  I kinda think just because of the 31-1 (and I think the MAC is a little better at basketball than it's given credit for), they probably should be in...likely a play-in game, but in.  But I wouldn't be shook up if they instead are a 1 in the NIT.

One can argue it's best for them to play in Dayton. That would be a much easier win opportunity for them than against a 6 seed. If they win in Dayton that would count as a tournament credit, which nets the MAC an extra $2M.
