AND ensuring a .500 average come to tournament bid selection time. It would be great for the sport, and college athletics in general, is the elite academics (NU, Hopkins, Stanford, vanderbilt, Duke, ND, Stanford, USC, Ivies) could make a “pact”, so to speak, where they strive to rotate through all 16 or so schools every 4-5 years in their OOC schedule.
What in the world are you talking about?
All the elites should have the opportunity to play one another in OOC play. Instead, you have teams like Duke blowing out Gardner Webb and Elon for clout.
Why Elite academic schools and who decides who the elite academic schools are.
IDK where the cutoff is for "elite" but the premise is a bit idiotic. Especially naming Elon. Elon beat Duke not too long ago and finished in the Top 20 recently, UMass is another example, They lost to Boston College 22-5 this year but they beat Boston College in 2020 and have finished the season ranked in the Top 20 multiple times in recent years.
The whining about Duke is just nonsense, there are a lot of blowouts every year. There have been a many lopsided games already this year but we only seem to hear about Duke.
