So it looks more and more like Wichita State will move to the AAC

It's easy to see why a conference like the AAC would be interested. WSU is a great basketball product and frankly, the AAC needs the revenue.

There's a side issue here that I find fascinating as well. Apparently, the committee is ever more interested in giving at-large slots to Power league schools. When it comes to basketball, the Big East and A10 are basically Power leagues so their at-large entrants don't really count even though they're not Power 5.

Now personally, I don't really mind the extra spots going to Power schools. One reason is the Power schools are generating most of the money and interest. A second reason is that the NCAA has done this to itself by allowing far too many leagues to get automatic bids. The 15/16 seeds are generally schools that simply don't belong as they come from leagues that are used by Power schools to provide early season money games. With that said, I understand why certain leagues and schools are feeling snubbed.

It would seem inevitably, we are moving towards some sort of separation from the NCAA or the creation of a new division. We've theorized before what the tournament might look like in that scenario. But I wanted to ask what everyone thinks might be a solution for the problem of some deserving mid-majors being consistently left out?

Expand the tournament again? Reorganize the way auto-bids are handed out? Something more creative?
