What if there were a D1A and D1AA in BBall?

So you have the FB confs in D1A but include the Sun Belt and BE BBall onlies to get to 131 teams. You can then have a 48 team NCAAT. Would that be a good thing? By doing that you eliminate the little guy, and upsets are fun and exciting. But upsets make it easier for the next team they play. Also having a D1A and D1AA, you will get more talent per team. In BBall one guy can make a difference. You can go anywhere you want. However if you split D1A and D1AA would a kid who is choosing between being a career 6th man at SU or a starter for Hofstra pick Hofstra if they are D1AA? Having a split may very well add depth to every D1A team and make games even better.

Edit
I forgot to add that every teams reg season sched would be a lot harder. No more cupcake games. In this case confs would likely play more conf games. The B11 would likely go from 18 to 20. The ACC, SEC, and B12 from 16 to 22. The BE from 18 to 22. The P10 would remain at 18. Even so teams would have to fit in about 10 more OOC games and there are only 131 D1A teams to choose from. So we should see a lot more games between the Big 6 confs.


I made a bracket based on this year. I tried to keep the seedings as close to possible but had to move some teams to different regions to fill in holes. There are 43 D1A teams in this year NCAAT. However I only used 42 of them since both Temple and Akron wouldnt have gotten at larges. Only would could be the MAC champ. I then took the 6 highest seeded NIT teams to fill it in. So here is what it would look like:

	East	South	MW	West
1	Pitt	UNC	UL	Uconn
2	Duke	OU	MSU	Memphis
3	Nova	SU	KU	Missou
4	Wake	Utah	FSU	Wash
5	UCLA	WV	Illinois	Purdue
6	Texas	ASU	BC	Marq
7	LSU	Clemson	Cal	BYU
8	A&M	OSU	Tenn	Okie St
9	Mich	Temple	USC	MD
10	Minn	Wisc	WKU	Utah St
11	Zona	SD St	Fla	Auburn
12	Miss St	PSU	ND	Va Tech

So the Top 4 seeds get 1st round byes. The rest would play as follows:

UCLA/Miss St	WV/PSU	Illinois/ND	Purdue/Va Tech
Texas/Zona	ASU/SD St	BC/Fla	Marq/Auburn
LSU/Minn	Clemson/Wic	Cal/WKU	BYU/Utah St
A&M/Mich	OSU/Temple	Tenn/USC	Okie St/MD

The the potential 2nd round games of:

Pitt/A&M	UNC/OSU	UL/Tenn	Uconn/Okie St
Duke/LSU	OU/Clemson	MSU/Cal	Memphis/BYU
Nova/Texas	SU/ASU	KU/BC	Missou/Marq
Wake/UCLA	Utah/WV	FSU/Illinois	Wash/Purdue

So would this be bad or good for CBBall?
