NCAA at it again doing NCAA crazy things
Dec 13, 2024 08:55 PM #1

NCAA President Charlie Baker is wanting to expand the NCAA Tourney anywhere from 72-76 teams, guess it's sounding favorable -- Why ? - - Why ?- - they already have diluted this dang thing already enough, before long your going to have regular Season losing record teams getting in the tourney , really takes away from the purpose of the Tourney -- hell just open it up to what all 365 teams and make it a season long tourney.

Said they need to make a decision by the end of the School yr so if passed can be ready for 2026--- NOO OOOOO OO .

It's already open to every team. Conference tournaments serve that purpose.

@wissox even in Conference tourneys, it's the Champion that gets the auto. I've never really cared for the conference tourneys, I think the Regular Season Champion should be the one that gets the automatic bid, I don't favor rewarding a team that gets hot for three games instead of taking the team that has proven that they are the REAL champion's by the work they do over the course of the Season- - not a weekend.

They expand the tourney again then your going to start getting sub par 500 % teams making the tourney - -no thanks. - -totally dilutes it even more, some of these teams are not champions, & that is what it's still about.

I still remember when the NCAA tourney was a thirty two team tourney, and they actually had a third place game in the tourney.

Certainly about dollars. There seems to always be a Cinderella but with this expansion Cinderella may not be as pretty. IDK maybe a Shreck?

@SlimShaddy54 Every team that plays in the conference tourney is playing a NCAA tournament game.
