Why should that be an issue? If Southern wins, the runner-up should get the auto-bid. What's so hard about that?

Why not give it to the runner-up no matter what? When was the last time an entire conference had no representatives in the Big Dance?

Tex South is gonna be the SWAC participant. ESPN confirmed this. They allowed Southern to participate because ticket sales

About 30 or so years ago, when the "Metro Conf." existed, Louisville was on probation, not eligible for the NCAA's, but were allowed to play in the Metro tourney. They won it, and the NCAA committee didn't think the runner up was "good enough" to get an invite.....but if what "DSU Rocks" says is true, so be it. Good then for the SWAC.
