They will need to have a clean break which means they will need enough programs in each sport to have national championships. I fully believe the Big East (power basketball conference) and Mountain West (premier sports league in its region) will make the cut. If there is a split, I believe Gonzaga will join the Big East and the WCC will be out. The other two conferences that I think might make the cut are the A-10 and American. However, if the Big 12 scoops up some AAC teams, that latter is DOA.

Why do they need a clean break?
What’s the difference between basketball only schools making the cut in this new entity, and these major football schools keeping other sports in the NCAA?

I think moving both revenue sports makes sense on the macro level so you can redo the tournament payouts. I don’t see the NCAA or the new entity banning the invitation of mid and low majors to the postseason
