Shut up about the postseason tournament already

 

This happens every year. Every sore loser around comes out of the woodwork to say we should have it. I got an email from another do-gooder yesterday imploring me to investigate this glaring oversight.

So, new rule: No more talking about a postseason tournament for the Ivy League. It's not going to happen. Nor should it. Look at the Cornell squad that went 14-0 and might have a good chance of beating a four-seed and tell me you wouldn't want that team in the Dance 100 percent of the time.

I was disappointed to read the Harvard Crimson whining about this dead issue again a few days ago. I won't rehash the arguments except to say enough already. The Ivies don't have a tournament and the league is the better for it. No one sneaks into the postseason through the back door. If you want to get to the Tournament, try building a program, and no, cheating doesn't count.
