I've suggested this for football with the 'Power 5' and the 'Other 5'. What would you think of doing the same for college basketball? It's more difficult to figure out which ones would be in what group since there are so many 'mid-majors', but let's give it a shot. The negative with this idea is it could eliminate the NIT which we all know and love (LOL).
Group A (15 conferences; 179 teams)
American
ACC
A-10
Big XII
Big 10
Big East
C-USA
Ivy League
MAC
MWC
MVC
OVC
Pac-12
SEC
WCC
Group B (17 conferences; 172 teams)
AEC
A-Sun
Big Sky
Big South
Big West
CAA
Horizon
MAAC
MEAC
NEC
Patriot
Southern
Summit
Southland
Sun Belt
SWAC
WAC
There could be a 48-team tournament in Group A with 4 regions of 12 with seeds 1-4 having a 1st round bye. Group B could have a 24-team tournament...?
