Heads-up!

You missed the SEC when making pics...

(I'm a nerd...I like tracking things...)
 
I won't attempt case-by-case notification, but general alert to allow anyone option to revise: several cases of Grand Canyon in WAC -- cannot get auto bid this year, transitional to div 1. Also saw at least one example of Alcorn in SWAC, that school is allowed in conf tourney but can't get auto.

Check list of teams banned from ncaa tournament.
 
After a quick run-through of the entries, reiterating: Grand Canyon is ineligible for auto-bit in WAC. The following contestants need to revise their picks:
Cycsk
CyKings
iastatehunter
NeftlixAndClone
Thomasrickj


WAC tourney doesn’t begin until March 10, but it’s best if you can make the adjustment asap.


I have not reviewed each league for everyone yet, I may have more notes.

Someone picked SMU...don't remember who...
 
I found the SMU pick you had noticed, KCClone.


Feels like I’m piling-on, but in addition to Grand Canyon pick, Cycsk has to change 2 other picks:
American (SMU)
SWAC (Alcorn State)
