You just don't like the definition of a tournament champion.

sure i do, but a single-elimination basketball tournament with way too many teams in it is a bastardization of the process

I don't think it's a bad thing as long as you realize the winner is the national champion, but not necessarily the best team of the 2013-2014 NCAA basketball season. There's a difference. I don't think a "tournament champion" gives us a "true" champion (or best team), especially with 64 teams. But sports is entertainment, and we love us some tournaments.
With that said, I think (small) tournaments are necessary in college sports to determine a champion because of the unequal regular seasons. Professional sports have more equality with their seasons, so the it's easier to determine a best team without playoffs.
I think football has it right. I liked the BCS and thought that to be a national champion, don't screw up in the regular season (lose once) and you can't bitch. Now I like the 4-team, but do not want an 8-team. Teams 4-8, who will have 2-3 losses each (yes, I realize LSU 07), do not deserve to win a national title.
