Cobb Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Source: Media Life Cable is seen as a more logical destination for two reasons. First, the NCAA reportedly wants to expand the tournament, from its current 65-team format to 96 teams, a third of whom would receive first-round byes. It would be easier for a cable channel to make room for all those extra daytime games than a broadcast network; ESPN runs "SportsCenter" and other non-event programming most days, while CBS has a full slate of soaps, game shows and local affiliate news that has to be preempted.Would you guys want to see a 96 team field or are you fine with the way it is now with 65 teams?

Check my Stats Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I don't follow college basketball at all, but that sounds like WAY too many teams to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabbylion Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think that they shouldn't expand it. Eventually the 97th and 98th best team is gonna whine about not getting in. Could you imagine the NFL just casually expanding the playoffs to 20 or 24 teams? The strong survive so if that school can't make the top 64 then screw it.

BeeZee Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I don't even like the play-in game that includes the 64th and 65th teams - keep it at just 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasX Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 NCAA: If it isn't broken, just wait, we'll break it. One of the few perfect things in sports. Don't [expletive] it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
