NCAA tournament:
72-team field (First Eight instead of First Four)
1. This keeps the big boys happy without eliminating AQs.
2. Revenue skews more heavily to basketball's P5 (P4 + Big East).
3. This preserves the basic format of the tournament.
4. Two games per TV slot on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
CFP:
14-team field (2 byes to quarterfinals)
1. Big Ten and SEC champs guaranteed quarterfinal berth
2. Big Ten and SEC runners-up guaranteed auto bid
3. Next three highest ranked conference champs guaranteed auto bid
4. Seven at-larges
