Kansas is a basketball school and WVU doesn't have the population...


BUT, that's why I don't think 48 schools will work. Schools like WVU will complain that they're more valuable TV ratings-wise than Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Maryland and Rutgers, which I would agree. Maybe 56 , 60 or 64 schools would be the number?

I did my selections based on TV markets and future population growth. Utah and Cal should be in the top tier too along with a dozen others, but I was just going with 48 (the question to the post). Duke and Kansas add value basketball-wise. I could see the B1G taking both, but I think the Power 2 or 3 or 4 will be more about football and there's a possibility that football will be the only sport that will go through a division reclassification. I think having a Power 2 men's basketball tournament will kill TV ratings and that the NCAAMBB Tournament is as good as it will ever get at this moment with 68 of the 300+ D-1 schools involved. A tournament minus the likes of Villanova, Gonzaga, Loyola-Chicago, Butler, UConn and your annual Cinderella teams would be boring.
