        I think we have to have this League earn the automatic seed, and
not just give them one, I think they should have to play some tough
competition and see how they respond. Notice that Mankato and UNO are
being brought in slowly and that they are having to pay their dues. The MAAC
are all virtually division two and three teams right now and I
would hate to see another team lose on of the 12 bids because of a MAAC
team getting an auto bid just to see them get beaten in the first round.
