Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4156342, member: 5685"] IMO if there is a break away it is for FB only. The schools aren't walking away from the NCAAT credits on the table. That being said the NBA seems to do fine with a smaller tournament. If there were a 52 out of 80 available teams making the BBall tourney, it would be fine. In 1984 there were only 53 teams so it isn't crazy. You can keep the first 4, then have seeds 5-12 play, then your round of 32. If there were a split IMO you see 10 conference games in FB. Look at the SEC now, they are fine playing 9 conference games with only Vandy as canon fodder. As to OOC, we are talking P5 x 16. So that means 11 more G5 teams are needed, most of which is cannon fodder. Even if there isn't a split, IMO FCS games will be phased out within the next few seasons and teams will play at least 10 P5 games each (combo of conf and OOC). That leaves only 2 G5 OOC games at max. [/QUOTE]
