NCAA basketball and baseball do it. It's to keep all conferences relevant. I believe all college sports give berths to conference champs
So it is up to the NCAA to keep the conferences relevant? How about they tell these conferences to step up the schedule or lose their automatic berths?
Politics and blues are the bane of the sport.

How and where do you draw the line - by RPI?
