I could see the NCAA tournament struggling for a few seasons, until the P5 created a best of 5 series format and a basket-load of classic games resulted.
The basketball tournament would be irreparably harmed if that were to happen. The biggest draw by far of the NCAA tournament among the many causal fans who tune in are the brackets. The unknown of the smaller schools is a big driver in the popularity of the brackets. You take that away, taking away the David vs. Goliath aspect, I am not saying the tournament wouldn't still be popular, but it would not be as popular as it is now with the hoards of non-fans who now tune in to watch, and the luster would come off: it would be less valuable. Especially because if it were P5 only, it would essentially be a case where everybody gets to be in the tournament.
