This has nothing to do with Dayton playing an hour from home...and is actually bs imo. Add a second location.... they're now allowing for the possibility of a team in the field to have to qualify....

They always make things more complicated. All they had to do was just switch Dayton with someone else last year and the problem would be solved. Seriously how many times has this happened? Last year was an outlier that we happened to be on the wrong side of.

You are always right and everyone else is wrong. NOT! Perhaps you need to work more on improving your reading comprehension. The article says ... "Last season, the seeding process placed Dayton into the First Four, playing at home. UCLA, another team that was among the last to get into the field, was placed in the main bracket. The old procedures did not allow the committee to switch Dayton and UCLA." And all I said was MAYBE we wouldn't have been screwed. You are always so intent on trying to tell people what's wrong with what they've posted. You're a jackass. Your family are such saints to have endured living with you. PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

once again...moving Dayton up or down a line has nothing to do with them playing an hour away from campus which I believe was the main b!tch around here in march.

Specifically in this case it would have done exactly that. Dayton moves up to an 11 seed that isn't in the last 4 and they go to a random locale and UCLA slides down to an 11 seed that has to play in Dayton. This gives the committee a little added flexibility without outright putting in a rule saying that Dayton can't play in the 1st 4 games.

actually they could have just as easily put Dayton in Columbus as a non play in 11 seed just as they could've moved the winner of the Dayton - boise game to ucla's location and had us play ucla in round 1.........SO it didn't solve exactly that.

The point is it gives them added flexibility to solve it another way if they want to be strict to their 1-68 rankings. Generally speaking the principles would have guided the committee not to put the better seed (6th seeded team) at a disadvantage on the road so they likely wouldn't have put Dayton in Columbus as a non-play in seed. The play-in 11 seed went to Columbus to avoid longer travel from Dayton after the play-in game. We can agree to disagree if you just want to argue but this definitely could have been used to solve the issue of Dayton getting a home game and then a subsequent "home" game up the road in Columbus.

The play-in 11 seed went to Columbus to avoid longer travel from Dayton after the play-in game....based on what are you making this statement? UCLA played in Louisville....Mississippi in Jacksonville....
...this "ruling" gets Dayton out of the play-in game at Dayton. It has no impact on them playing an hour from home. They've always had seeding flexibility inside the top 64 and could have moved the play-in winner to lville under the old "rules" or even swapped miss and Dayton.

They've always had seeding flexibility inside the top 64 and could have moved the play-in winner to lville under the old "rules" or even swapped miss and Dayton. But they had no seeding flexibility among the play-in game teams. Those 4 were the 4 and they had specific rules about which of the 4 played each other. Now they can scrub those 4 against the final 4 in the non-play in game to create a better seed list. That's the big change. Obviously we'll never know but my guess is if they had this rule last year UCLA goes to the play-in game in Dayton and then Columbus and Dayton goes to Louisville.

could've swapped ucla with Dayton/Boise winner...no travel issues whatsoever.

They could have done a lot of things but the major issue initially was that Dayton had a literal home game in the First Round. This new flexibility would give the committee the ability to prevent that. Whether or not they would still put them in Columbus is something I guess we'll not know until the opportunity presents itself again. I believe they wouldn't do it again but that's all speculation.

I was in the building in Columbus and really bummed by the Friars losing to Dayton.Yes---the Flyers had a huge advantage getting to play an hour from home. But---to use that as the excuse for losing to them I am long past.The team that played better that day won. The club that really got screwed by the NCAA was Boise State!!!

as I said...have 2 play-in locations...otherwise Dayton gets hooked up if they come in 65 -68 (or whatever the real at large #s are) and some other team has to play an extra game.
