NCAA Tournament Expands to 76 teams
- Thread starter ISU3PtLand
- Start date
Oh great, something no one was asking for.
NCAA is doing everytihng possible to ruin the college sports landscape in the name of money.
I don't feel like I'm getting old but I keep catching myself mentally saying I remember when it was like (fill in the blank) and thinking it was better than the new thing.
We need this less than a football expansion. For those wondering, 76 would put ~21% of all D1 men's teams into the tournament.
For comparison, the CFP is ~9% of FBS teams

Stupid.
Also I question the logic of expanding an already super-chalky women's tournament.

It's not about being chalk, it's about providing opportunity for the players.
I imagine given the map of schools in division 1 they'll still look to place it in the central time zone to reduce travel.
It doesn't necessarily have to be in the same place every year the way Dayton has been. There are less options in the central time zone for cities that A) are big enough to have the first 4 and B) aren't already on that regular first\second round rotation.
I mean, as long as they're in the right leagues...It's not about being chalk, it's about providing opportunity for the players.
Hawks should be pleased. Their 18-16 record might just get them in.
I like watching basketball, so more games the better in March. Make it 128 teams next. Might as well get NIL money’s worth from these professionals.
