Except the NCAA...and expand to 96 teams

Every conference has the chance for two teams to get in:

1) regular season champs
2) tournament champs

Give priority seeding to the tournament champs to keep teams from tanking once they've received an auto bid for regular season

Give the top 8 seeds in the tournament a bye, will make the 14, 15, and 16 seed games more exciting as better teams would make the round of 64

Would take away the need for teams to travel to Dayton and THEN to their first round game, as all tournament sites would simply need to accommodate 6 teams in a pod and 2 Tuesday games
