2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

I'll give them a saved flight in exchange for a mostly perfect bracket.
Can someone with insight explain to me why, after decades of the NC$$ avoiding flights like leprosy, now have potentially 5 flights PRIOR to the finals!? Why the sudden seismic shift in the D3 budget?? And is this "generosity" evident across the board in other D3 sports as well?? Has sanity actually arrived or has the exclusion of Adrian given them no options to stay < 500 mi?

I've said it many times, this is a new policy across all D3 sports. I've posted many times when the football bracket came out in 2024, it was obvious they were really going to do this. And I've used the basketball brackets as examples that we should see the same thing in hockey.

Why? Like they said in Fiddler on the Roof, "When there's a miracle, don't ask why. Just enjoy it."
