I agree with Huggins that men’s basketball pays for everything including ironically the FCS and other football playoff where football keeps the money 3/4 to P5 1/4 to G5 and Indy’s. 
His solution is somewhat unclear.
I don’t agree on limiting the the tourney. Minor conference usually end up with a pittance and add immensely to the fun. 
   If the goal is to increase basketball payouts the solution is much simpler 
1. Eliminate the general distribution 
Which accounts for 50% of the revenue. Adding that money to the conference participants.
2. Get football to share in financing non revenue championships and administrative costs. 
BB revenue is $800,000,000 while football is half that number. 
That keeps the vast majority of the money in Div 1 basketball. Yet still finances all the non revenue championships. 
That makes BB a lot more attractive disproportionately to Basketball only conferences ,G5 and most Indy’s. because of their crappy media deals helping stressed budgets. 
I suspect the  NCAA might lose membership but at 1200-1300 schools with little in common maybe that’s not a bad thing. 
Not financing non revenue NCAA championships is a non starter. 
The legal ramifications are mind boggling.
