My thoughts for a Champions Leage-style tournament...

- Each regular season conference winner from the year before gets a bid. 
-They are then divided into 8 groups of four trying to balance the best they can by strength of conferences.
-Each team plays the other in their group once
-The winners from all the groups make one bracket, the teams that came in second form a bracket, etc (obviously there have to be tie breakers in place)
-Each team plays 3 games in their bracket (maybe seeded  and home court according to RPI, I'm sure there are other ways it could be done) - if you win a game you play another winner, if you lose you play another loser

It's not perfect but it only takes up six games in the schedule and gives teams from weaker conferences the chance to get some good games on their resume.  I know a major flaw is that it uses the previous season's outcomes but this would not replace the tourney.  It would just add some excitement in the middle of the season.
