Am I missing something ?

There are 12 teams in the Belt, right ?

5 teams get a bye, so that leaves 7 teams right ? On the bracket it says that 6 plays 11, 7 plays 10, and 8 plays 9 with the first 5 seeds getting a bye. Does the 12th seed not get to go to the tourney or what ?

I think ULM is banned from postseason play, so that is why there are 11 teams in the Sun Belt Tourney. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

You are correct.

You are correct.

Ok that makes sense. Is it b/c APR ? Or whatever that is.

so ulm couldn'tdo some self sanctions and expect the ncaa to accept them to allow them into postseason play like uconn is trying???

wow...ulm is dealing with their punishment...other schools could learn

and on tonight's espn3 broadcast, the announcers said that only the top 3 get bye's due to ulm not participating...

is the sun belt informational staff that stupid that they can't give the announcers the correct info or is everyone else in the world wrong???

The TV team is that stupid. I am sure the Belt told the the top 3 AFTER the Division winners get a bye.
