Grand plan for the NCAA tournament

Do away with conference tournaments. Extend the NCAA by another week. Include all the D1 teams that are eligible. Copy the format of the old Indiana high school tournament before they broke it into classes. Make it regional. Get a computer to divide the country into four geographic regions as closely as possible. Then have district, sectional and regional tournaments to get to the Final Four. That way no one has to worry about "who gets into the tournament." All teams are in the tournament, and the champ is a true champ in every sense of the word. Ironically, I think this would make the regular season mean more, not less, because the regular season would not be merely playing to get into the tournament, since everyone does.
