In the days of NIL, immediate transfer eligibility, player agents and big money tv deals, I don’t see how you put the genie back in the bottle. As I referenced earlier, if the P4, maybe some day P2 conferences don’t get taken care of, they’ll do the same thing the major football programs did by creating their own championship.
At present, more than half the AQ’s in the tournament don’t have a chance to win a game. They are in the tournament because it expanded to 68 teams. It expanded to 68 teams because of the money and interest that the P4 teams plus UConn generate.
The days when Old Dominion, Delta St and Louisiana Tech could win the national championship are long gone and they ain’t coming back.
