The espn angle really is a good point, and is sometimes overlooked. The playoff people actually think they will be in control of this thing, when, in fact, it will be entirely an espn production. “people” won’t decide who gets in the bracket, or who plays whom, or where they play. Espn will decide all of that.

it’s another way the playoff advocates are getting punked by forces that they don’t understand. They’re doing espn’s bidding, and they don’t even seem to realize it.

Here is an excerpt from the New Orleans paper after that game Magnus, who won’t be involved in today’s discussions but will be an interested party since ESPN has first refusal on whatever format the commissioners come up with, said he also expects change.
