One issue I have though is some mid-majors actually have it easy. Like Belmont. Win your league, and they are in the NCAA Tournamant every year as a 12-seed or 13-seed. But a team like an Alabama, who is perpetually on the bubble, might have had a better team but they get left out because they are in a league that sends 4-5 teams per year. I've tossed around the idea of counting NCAA Tournament WINS only. Therefore the programs that made the Dance every year as a 14-seed, but lose every year don't get so many points.

It would take some adjusting but using some combination of tournament appearances (would have to be scaled back), tournament wins and win % in the tournament. You could also have the qualifier of only at large bids count or teams that would have been awarded one but got an auto bid anyway. That would solve some of the issues in the one bid leagues but gets more messy and time consuming.

Bingo. Yes, this is what I've been thinking.... or at least at-large bids count double the points compared to automatic qualifiers from one-bid mid-majors.

The problem: Who has time to go back through 70 years + of Tournament brackets to figure out who made it and whether they were an at-large, etc.? It would be a very time consuming project.
