I don't think they will...
I think they want to do exactly what you described. The Power 2 (which already exist, let me be the first to say it here) will be Fox and ESPN. Just like Fox and CBS in NFL football. The SEC will have basically the SEC as you describe it. The B1G will have the northern and some western schools, but neither Fox or ESPN want many of the private schools. Especially the ones that are basketball first schools. They will take the bigger known brands that are small private, but that will be it.
I think there will eventually be 48 schools in the Power 2 instead of the 30 they have now. The question is, how long will it take and how far behind will the 3 Less Powerful Conference schools fall behind by trying to fight the inevitable?!?!? Much of this in the name of Academic Arrogance, where they look down on poorer states that try to lift their population through education.
