The SEC and the Big 12 will have all 16 teams in each conference participating in their respective conference tournaments in 2025, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Rothstein also noted that the ACC and the Big Ten will not operate similarly. In both conferences, only 15 of the 18 teams will be eligible to compete in each conference tournament.
The 2024 Big 12 men's basketball tournament marked the first Big 12 event with 14 schools after the additions of BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston.
