Agreed. Time to seed the teams 1-24, avoid first-round and second-round conference matchups, and call it a day. The money we are talking about here is chump change in the grand scheme of things.
Maybe Larsen expended the political capital he had just to get UND in, I have no idea. Just trying to see things objectively. Saturday was ugly. Same can be said for Montana as well. Davis at 6-5 belongs. Conference standings and non-conference scheduling should matter.
I'll just leave these here.
