win or tie for your regular season title, win your conference tournament or make it to the championship game and end up runnerup. i'll bet that would add up to 65 teams.
this would allow the 31 tournament champs, plus some regular season champs (let's say 1/2 of the regular season champs lose during the tourneys) and then any other team that makes the conference championships (e.g Fla St, Purdue)
on the down side you would be letting teams like Holy Cross in from Patriot, a College of Charleston from the Southern Conference. Plus you would have to let UMBC in even after loss to Binghamton.
It would be a weaker tournament but at least it wouldn't be a tournament with the 7th and the 8th seeds from the Big Ten, ACC, SEC.
In fact if a team can't end up in the top 4 of its league, it shouldn't be allowed to go unless they get to the championship game. this would make all the teams who are joining this MEGA conferences think again and maybe they would slide back into smaller conferences where they started off and should be at any way.
