Watched Fran teams game the system in recent years when they had a Garza, the Murray's, and a bunch of 23 and 24 year olds playing. They'd put 100 points up on a game by game basis from November- December and fatten that NET ranking and their individual statistics right up. Pretty sure Fran knows how to game this system too, and frankly why wouldn't you do it this way if you could?
Also some of these Big 12 teams did at least attempt to schedule tough opponents this year. Are we really going to blame Kansas that Missouri and Wichita State turned out to be no good this year? Should Texas Tech be penalized because Villanova and Michigan are down? This whole thing is asinine, but as a fan of a Big 12 school, hardly surprising the national media is having some public outcry about it. I just hope the big 12 schools that dance this year dance long and far to shut everyone up. Except OU/UT
