The more I think about it, the more I think this discussion should be taking place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College Basketball. If this information should be included here, it should also be included at every other such article (NCAA men's & women's, NIT, WNIT, etc. for all years), or if the information is excluded, it should be excluded on every article (which I believe is the status quo). So if, as it seems, you feels strongly about this, I suggest that you raise the issue there as a change to occur on all such articles.
