Lehigh, Norfolk State would not have even had the chance to play against the large 'greedy' conference schools in football.

Boise State, TCU, Hawaii and Utah have. (Now three of them are, or will be, amongst the "greedy.")

Remember the thread awhile back about whether the NCAA should just choose the top 64 schools in terms of ranking for the tournament? This.
Yeah, I like this format to decide a national champ, much more than arbitrarily deciding on two teams to play each other based on heavily biased sportswriters' pre-season polls...all of which results in an unwatchable, disgusting, DERP festival where one team can't even move the ball past the 50 yard line until the 3rd quarter.
Yeah, March Madness is SLIGHTLY BETTER.
If college basketball had followed the BCS system, Larry Bird never would have had the chance to play in the Dance and you never would had the start of Larry vs. Magic.
Totally different deal. 64 teams....3 weekends..... manageable logistics.
If College Football went to a playoff system, there would be just as much b*tch*ng, different topics.
College Basketball Rocks.

Could you imagine the 1st weekend of a Football tournament? Sitting in a stadium all day watching 3 back-to-back football games with some of the best talent in the country? Can you imagine how much revenue that would generate?
CFB are silly for not chasing that revenue.

They will eventually...but it will not be under the oversight of the NCAA.
It would be best to go the football route. Just have UK and Syracuse play each other for the title and give everyone else one game with the matchups based on which makes the most money rather than merit.
But they will still leave the "little" school which has a good football team out.

Yea they do. Wisconsin plays cupcakes all the freaking time.
Alabama plays cupcakes the 2nd-4th game of the year
etc...
