I agree. This sets a precedent that we could see other Top 25-30 teams (men's and women's) consider taking.
If it does happen more, will the NCAA adjust how they give out at-large bids? Or will they nullify conference auto-bids if a top seed voluntarily withdraws?
The MVC and Missouri State are literally manipulating the system which guarantees the conference gets an extra bid, which, in turn, deprives some other more-worthy team of a bid.
Regardless.... Go Braves. Grab this opportunity to get an NCAA Tournament bid!
