With the super-conferences be formed, what will this do to the NCAA Basketball Tourney AKA March madness?

This tournament is truly one of the best things about college sports.

I don't think so. What makes march madness so good is having mid-majors beating big schools. This happens because the big schools have their stars leave early for the NBA while midmajors develop their players over 4 years with good coaching and chemistry. While young players continue to jump to the NBA we'll continue to see mid-majors competing with the big schools.

No way. Too many TV $$$ at stake. And it is some of the best TV there is.

Okay once you get past the BCS conferences now, you've only got what Butler, Georgetown, Gonzaga and a few others. Reduce the playoffs to 48

the bcs conferences have all the leverage, the ncaa has zero
