  • Analyst proposes shifting Mountain West tournament to a stepladder, power-protected format to shield top teams' NCAA chances.
  • Grammer argues the new Mountain West is not as deep, risking top teams' NCAA seeding without reform.
  • The proposed format includes a 10-team stepladder bracket with specific seed play.
  • The plan aims to protect top seeds while potentially improving NET ranking outcomes.
  • Grammer notes the format could allow simultaneous men’s and women’s tournaments.
  • Grammer cites Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s in the West Coast Conference as evidence the format can protect seeding.
  • The piece frames the current format as financially motivated rather than team-centric.
  • The analysis uses UNM Lobos as a case study for how the stepladder could affect NCAA prospects.
  • Grammer emphasizes the likelihood that the format may protect top teams but not fix overall league strength.
