Although I don't think they sent that message (Putting Arkansas in because they had a good run in the tourney, despite a losing conference record and being in the weak SEC division) I do agree with the idea.
Nix the Big XII tournament, and take away a few of the noncons so that we play the south teams twice each year. I'm sick of this "well the south teams play in a harder division so they're automatically better despite their record" crap. Making all of them equal would solve this problem.
Either that or go back to the Big 8. The Texas schools joining our conference hasn't exactly done us any favors.
