There is no answer but to the new haters of the NCCA tourney, just be honest and admit say 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.
This is what they want. But how do you determine which conferences stay major DI and which move down? In basketball, can you really move the Colonial Athletic Conference down when it has produced two Final Four teams in the last 6 years? Same with the Horizon League.

Good question. How do you do it with college football? Do you actually tell Boise St. that they can't sit at the adult table anymore? How do Notre Dame and BYU fill schedules as independents without playing murderer's row every year?
I don't know if I would be in favor of cutting D-I; college football is full of schools that develop into national powers out of nowhere. Look at Florida St., Miami, TCU, Louisville, Utah just to name a few that parlayed their success into BCS conference invites. Cutting down the division would prevent another school from emerging.

Apparently to the haters they should be moved down as the Horizon and CAA can only produce flukes. However over the last 6 years in the Final Four, the CAA has more teams and appearances than the Big 12 and more teams than the Pac 10. The Horizon league has the same number of teams as the Pac 10 and Big 12 (1) and also more appearances than the Big 12.
No system is perfect. Period. Once you agree on that and pick one, it's up to the teams to perform. Kansas may be "better" than VCU but they have known the rules of the game as long as anyone else. The system weighs post season games more than the regular season, this is not a shock. If you peak in February, tough shite, poor planning and player development.
