NCAA Tournament Expanded to 76 teams in Men's and Women's Basketball

Sources: NCAA basketball tournaments set to move to 76 teams

I'll be honest I don't see the need for this, if you can't make it in a tournament that has 68 teams, you simply don't deserve to be there. I would be okay with this if it only involves non-big 4 conference teams, I would much rather watch teams that came in 2nd in their league than the 11th best B1G team or the 9th best Big 12 teams.

No.

IMO, if you go to 76, at a minimum, you need to give both the regular season conference winner and the conference tourney winner auto bids. That would add some more non-power teams to the field.

No.

……(sigh)…. Why?

Here’s one, how about you just let ‘everyone’ in the playoffs. It’s not a grouping of the best teams anyway.

Yes! And, why stop at four year schools? Invite all the community colleges! Heck, we won’t even need a regular season anymore! October thru March Madness!

No.

Think about this....the new 76 qualifiers includes women's teams also.

Aside from the top 8, and that's stretching it, the field is already too large when it comes to competitive games and possibility of reaching the Women's Final Four.
