If you make it so only the P5 conference teams are in the tournament, viewership will dramatically decrease. Of course, the non-P5 conferences should be setting up either neutral site or home/home with each other, but each year it's sort of a crap-shoot as to what teams will be good. But with scheduling getting more and more difficult, I don't know how you solve this. I guess one way would be to say you only get to count x number of conference games towards an NCAA bid, so even if you play 20, no more than 16 would be recognized. Not sure that's workable, but you get the idea.
As long as conference champions get an autobid, there will be Cinderellas. I don't think viewership will change much either way if the A10 or American gets another team or 2 in the tourney as opposed to the ACC or Big 10.
