Conference tournaments were for years largely just a tradition from the past.
How long have high schools held conference tournaments?
College sports used to be a lot like high school sports 80 years ago.
Conferences had tournaments, just like high schools.
The reason why college conference tournaments exist today is because of the HUGE amounts of money to be made off them.
Do you remember back when the Big 10 used to boast it did not do silly post-season conference basketball tournaments?
The Big 10 changed its mind due to $$$$.
Same reason why Big 10 has 14 member schools, not 10.
The purpose of EVERYTHING in major college athletics today is to make money.
And nothing else.
