The NCAA is going to tinker with the tourney. They'll say to make it better. You may be right, don't water down the prestige. I have made a suggestion many a time. DON"T PAY OUT TO TEAMS IN THE TOURAMENT! If it is prestige, then just pay expenses. Divide up the money earned to ALL D1 b-ball schools equally. If they want to reduce the # in, then go back to 32. Probably 30/32 P-5 teams but so what. They are playing for fame, not fortune. Maybe you see less violations. Fewer coaching changes.But why do we want to water down the prestige of playing in the NCAA Tournament?
I feel like this suggestion is more of an emotional reaction of being annoyed that we just missed the cut this year as opposed to a good long-term idea. If you're a P5 team who is on the bubble, it's your own fault. You had four months to win another game or two.
