Tourney Expansion - How You Could Get Me To Buy In

For as pro-expansion as I am the Football Playoff --- I'm pretty anti expansion of the basketball tournament. However, when I saw this news yesterday it would be quite cool if they made the expansion four pods for the play-ins similar to pre-season tournaments and would probably get my buy in.

-A 16 seed pod
-Two 11 seed pods
-12 seed pod

[U]Example Schedule[/U]

Tuesday:

16 Pod
12:10 - Missouri State vs Texas Southern
3:30 - Tennessee State vs Portland

11 Seed 1
12:30 - Arizona State vs Maryland
5:15 - Purdue vs N.C. State

11 Seed 2
2:10 - Dayton vs TCU
6:45 - Missouri vs Butler

12 Seed
2:45 - Pittsburgh vs Georgia
7:30 - Murray State vs BYU

Wednesday:

12:30 - 16 Seed Winners
3:15 - 11 Seed Pod 1 Winners
5:45 - 11 Seed Pod 2 Winners
8:15 - 12 Seed Winners

Play “first round” on the Fridays

Tell me that wouldn't make some damn awesome television. Also a 16-seed winning TWO tournament games and two 16-seeds winning at least 1 game would be huge for their conference shared revenue. With that said - it's a cool idea so there's no way the NCAA does it.
