I agree with this.  It would be the end of post season basketball at least as far as anyone caring about it.  But that isn’t the same thing as whether they could do it or whether it would be more prestigious than the remaining NCAA member tournament.  Of course the P4 could do it.  And it would, rightly I think, be viewed as the “real” national championship.  If the P4 decided to run their own basketball tournament, away from the NCAA, the NEWBIE would offer to clean the locker rooms if necessary to be allowed in.  And the situation here is why although there are more non-P4 schools in the NCAA, they have zero leverage to stop the P4 from having there way.  I mean now they want to reduce the number of bids to mid-majors.  Even talk about eliminating auto bids for league champs.  After all if the NEC doesn’t get a bid maybe Purdue would have lost to us twice!  And wouldn’t you rather watch a 9-11 Rutgers play a 7-13 Iowa State anyway?
