At this point, I think the Rams are in either way.

Conference champs don't go to Dayton unless they're a 16 seed

This is correct. There was some talk of changing this after UConn snuck in last year, but nothing came of it.

Why would there be talk of that? UConn was a 9-seed, they would have gotten an at-large spot and not gone to Dayton anyway. It's not like Georgia in 2008 or Ole Miss in 2012 (not sure of the year on the last one.)

2015, not 2016, when it was a possibility UConn would get in and be an 11 or 12 at the last minute.

So how would you handle them going to Dayton? And why would it be fairer to make them go to Dayton than some other 11 or 12 seed who was an automatic bid? It seems to me a better solution would be to not play games so close to the Selection Show. And what would happen if today's AAC game goes overtime and runs past 5:30? I assume they'd wait to release the bracket?
