Are conferences required to have tourneys? I could have sworn back in the day some conferences did just send their regular season winner. At least in basketball, not sure about baseball.

I’ve never been a fan of the conference tourney taking precedence over a full season but I don’t think it’s a “rule”. The conferences choose to host tourneys to make some money and in order for people to give a shite there has to be something at stake.

Pretty sure Ivy doesn't have a tournament, and sends season champ.

Thank you for the reply. You make good points and it's nice to see that there are people on this board who are capable of having an intelligent conversation.
