The NCAA should show some balls "yes I said balls" and drop the hole system and start over. College sports should move over to a Europe rotation system.

This would mean eliminating all conference and division as they now stand. Placing all schools into 16 conference based only on regions with divisions set for schools from D1a to JC. Each conference champ enters the playoffs, all others stay home. In the case of basketball the top 4 in each conference would make the field of 64.

The last place team would drop down to a lower division the next year and the first place team from the lower division would move up. Football could have 9 teams in each division and basketball could have 12 in division 1.

The PAC would look like this.
USC
UCLA
Stanford
Cal
San Jose State
Fresno State
Nevada
UNLV
Hawaii
San Diego State

On deck
St Mary
San Diego


Northwest
Oregon
Oregon State
Washington
Washington State
Boise State
Idaho
Montana
Montana State
Wyoming
Etc

WAC
Arizona
Arizona State
Utah
Utah State
BYU
New Mexico
New Mexico State
Colorado
Colorado State
Air Force
UTEP

Of course regions would need to be balanced by number of schools

Some rule changes that could be talked over.

1. Any program that loses money two years in a row drops a division
2. Each Conference champ moves up a division, Each division champ win 1 safe year at that division, or can't be drop back down the next year.
3. Lotto balls for placement in playoff instead of someone opinion.
4. Etc...

I Know it will never happen, But that never stopped me from dreaming about Tira Banks...

There was an article on ESPN (I think thats where I read it) last year that pretty much stated the same thing. A basic tier system with four divisions, and three levels per division. The top two teams of the second and third levels moved up one level for the following year, while the bottom two teams of the first and second move down. Then the top two teams from level one of each division go for the championship. That article was on their website a little over a year ago but I haven't been able to find it since.
