Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4156315, member: 622"] While I agree with your sentiment, there still needs to be canon fodder. Currently, one FCS game and one or two G5 games fill out a P5 schedule. If you take away the FCS and G5 pool, you force big name brands to play more P5 games. That will only happen with additional canon fodder (bottom feeders, body bags, Rutgers,...) Besides, JB is right, you need more schools to justify a good Hoops tourney, too. Presently, you have a 69 team field, about 20% of D1, teams. Scale that down to 80 and you only have 16 teams. Too much money is made off the hoops tourney to not keep some value. And don't forget, the NCAA gets half of the hoops tourney money, they will not decrease their share or take to benefit a few teams. [/QUOTE]
