It gives teams opportunities who move up from bubble to in, 2 seed to host, host to national seed.

It is as stacked of a tournament as there is. A lot of years it is as talented as Omaha.

There is a trophy. Sure it doesn't mean as much as a national title, but it's worth trying for (as long as you're not screwing yourself for regionals)

Sure, but you don't have to have bubble teams by season's end. Teams are "on the bubble" only because there is a conference tournament. Otherwise, those bubble teams are just the first teams left out.

The same teams played, for the most part, during the regular season.

It doesn't mean anything at all for teams vested in the national playoff picture. I rarely see teams touting a conference tournament championship.
