Yup. https://pac-12.com/article/2021/12/22/pa...-22-season
In order for teams to be eligible for the Conference championship, teams must play no less than three fewer Conference games than the average number of Conference games played by all Conference teams (rounded up/down at .50).
Wow, is this confusingly worded!!!!
It's also an odd threshold . . . if everyone plays 50% of scheduled games, then everyone eligible for the conference tourney. Okay . . .
What really matters is if NCAA has any threshold # of games for participation. If so, I imagine the number will be sufficiently low/attainable for all P5 schools. Of course, I also think protocols will be modified/loosened to allow for more participants in games.
