NCAA Possibly Expanding Tournament Field

[nfrine]

But how would Iowa ever make the field?

It will make it even harder for Fran to get to a Sweet 16....didn't think that was possible.

It could go to 72 and wouldn't be the end of the world, structurally. Push two more down to 16 line, add 2 additional at-larges at the 11-ish slot. Unnecessary, but framework could accommodate.

Anything beyond that is overkill.

Hoks are voting yes

Still won’t get to Sweet 16.

 

[Jimbo ISU]

96 teams with 32 byes would be a big improvement over 68.

So will they hand out the participation ribbons during the selection show, or will they wait to do it at the tournament sites when all the players can get their juice boxes and orange slices?

Hey! leave juice boxes and orange slices out of this!

I wish the NCAA would, but here we are. Treating NCAAB like youth sports where everyone gets in the post season.
