Exactly. I mean, I love the tournament. I love the setup, the excitement, and I think it's a cool way to end the season and crown a champion.
It's definitely not the best way to determine a champion, but we have to see both the competitive and financial side of things. That's just the way life is.
Also, I know some people want to cut down on all of the teams and give the small-majors their own division. This way, we could have a tournament that is smaller and determines a champion better, as well as brands the big name programs like Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, and Kentucky. However, I would like to point out that a 1 or 2 seed wins the NCAA Tournament the overwhelming majority of the time, AND if UK wins it all this year, the last four national champions will be Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, and Kentucky. Funny huh?

No one seems to complain when this happens. Between the NCAA tourney and the BCS, it seems the only constant is that bitching about the systems ensues whenever one of the non-anointed 8-10 teams in each sport begin to sniff a championship.
Every system is subjective and measuring a championship is subjective. Why 30 games against 20 teams and not 60? There is no answer, but to the new haters of the NCCA tourney, just be honest and admit that D-1 should be no more than about 70 schools in CBB and 60 in CFB from the "power conferences." That's what you want, right? No possible scenario would justify a team outside the power conferences winning. Don't hate the tourney, advocate to limit DI eligibility.
