I'd watch this if the big east put one on
Tremendous. They are bringing all the teams into one location. Will be good for everyone in the league . Excellent article on the concept ( also see the image of a newspaper from 1957 in this story. pretty amazing. bb

So they're doing this because a bunch of their members left.  I mean, it's cool in concept but there just is no room for it with the 20 game conference slate.

No thank you.

'IF' the Big East did it I'd watch, but not excited about it.

We already have the double round robin plus a conference championship at the end of the year. I suppose we could play some teams 4 times, but it seems pretty unnecessary.

It would be great if we had enough available games without compromising the 20-game double round Robin plus the key nonconference matchups. Unfortunately, there are only so many slots in the schedule.

That being said, I do think it's kind of a cool thing to do for mid and low major conferences.

No.

There are a lot of mid-majors that I’d watch play an in-season tourney.  MAAC, Valley, SoCon, MAC, CUSA, Fun Belt and A-10

Now THAT'S an idea!

A season long tournament of conference champions. Freaking beautiful

This could be an interesting idea in mid-Feb if a conference is looking at an insurmountable amount of covid PPDs to make up.  Kind of requires all teams to be 3 or more games behind tho. 
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

Let them put it on and see how it goes.
It might be a one and done, or a new trend.
