Nobody wants to see my picks. Hell, I don't want to see my picks.

My initial reaction was, since there are 32 leagues and so much variance (in theory, at least), it doesn't hurt to have it "on display."
But PM'ing is simple enough to navigate, and perhaps something we could consider for 2025 @ImJustKCClone
As long as they PM me so I get the original info, I'm okay with that.
But as for myself, I make it a point to NOT look at what everyone else has chosen. If I'm going to sink or swim, I'm not going to do it on the coattails of someone else's picks!
That's similar to how I approach it ... if I start looking at it, I'll probably just make my selections worse by attempting to "out-guess.
I added a link to the "Handy Links" list (post #3).
This also serves as a Sunday-morning bump.

When I enter them in my spreadsheet, I will notice if a team is no longer in that conference (autofill helps). I will let contestants know if they have chosen a team that has moved. I think 500 also listed teams that are ineligible for NCAA tournament play due to conference changes. Some will play in the conference tournaments; some conferences won't even allow them to do that much.

Be aware that several tournaments start BEFORE Wednesday (ASUN starts tomorrow, for example).
Your full slate needs to be on here by Wednesday, but you need to get the early start picks in before their tournaments tip off. You can copy paste the list from 500's post and enter the relevant picks, then fill it out later. I will double-check posts on Wednesday to make sure I have all of your picks.
Here's a list of when the tournaments start:
Tracking all 32 NCAA men's basketball conference tournaments, auto bids for 2024
Keep up with automatic qualifiers, schedules, links to brackets and more during conference tournament season in men's college basketball.
I was doing this for me and decided to share it with the rest of you. I've highlighted the conferences whose tournaments begin before the Wednesday 5p deadline for submissions. All of the first round games for the conference tournament brackets beginning on the 6th tip off after the 5p deadline.
