From what I've heard, both the Reg Season and Tourney champs get automatic NC$$ bids, if they are indeed different teams. Since at least two teams from each conference are supposed to go (at least according to the post that had Princeton being selected over Wisconsin for that reason), this eliminates the "CC problem" of last year, while still allowing for a team to play its way into the NC$$'s with a run in the conference tourney. So, it appears that according to the NC$$, there could be two champions in a given conference this year. Greg Weintraub BU '97
