http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=ap-ncaatournament-expansion

any thoughts? 

I don't like it, I like the current # (minus the play in game).

Re: NCAA tournament expansion?

  • No a huge fan of it. I would first like to see them limit the number of bids per power conference. Over the last several years the mid majors and some even smaller conferences are getting stronger. Until you limit the number that the Big East, Big 12, ACC, to name a few-the mid majors will not be able to get stronger.

    Oh and I know that the power conferences bring in BIG money for the networks and the venues. But there are still a lot of people who like seeing Cinderella, I think if you limit the number of "Big Boys" that make it-you create better chances for Cinderella.

  • I am not a fan. I think they should get rid of the play in game as well.

  • I'm not in favor of it at all.  It just seems like an attempt to include everyone, but I'm in favor of rewarding good seasons and only including the top teams.

  • If they're gonna expand the NCAA, they need to make college football a playoff. That's my thought.

    And I'm guessing the NIT will just go away...? That many teams is just too much. I hate the idea and really hope it doesn't pass. Sounds like it has a good chance though.

  • I think a football playoff should be more of a priority than expanding the basketball tournament.

  • No. Just no. They should not expand. And until this year, Cinderella does not normally do well. All the power conferences are power conferences for a reason. If 6 teams form a power conference all have better records (factoring in everything) then they should get the slot over a mid-major.

    I really don't think they will expand anyway, they talk about it every year.

    I know, right?! I'm still scratching my head as to how this whole tourney expansion became such a priority so fast...

  • It is probably easier to figure out how to make more money off expanding the basketball tourney than a football playoff.

  • Every argument made against the football play-off can be made against expanding the basketball tournament.  Except I have rebuttals for football.  Expanding is a dumb idea.
