Might keep Cal from missing the tourney again. So there’s that.

Just start the tournament in November. Eliminate the regular season. Let our guys rest up for the draft. That’s all that matters anyway. Gotta be able to slip into those fancy duds and do the walk properly. Experiment new mops on the head. That’s what’s important. Regular seasons suck anyways.
I find it to be a terrible idea. People will think it might open it up for more mid majors, but in time you’ll see more sub .500 power 5 teams getting in.
People need to stop trying to add more to everything, it’s going water sports down even more.

Nothing more than a money grab. An 8 seed I believe is the lowest seed to win the NCAAT. Nova in 1985. Stop this “everyone gets a trophy” mentality.
I hate this idea. Why even have a regular season if even barely average teams get in at the end? It just cheapens the entire season.
The regular season, which is barely meaningful right now, would cease to matter at all. At least in terms of interest.
Money and greed. Will ultimately ruin a splendid thing.

The CFP expands so, everything else needs to get bigger too I guess. It's a money grab at this point. Instead of working to make the regular season better and more entertaining they do their best to ruin the last great thing associated with college basketball. Typical.
Why can’t we get all 300+ teams in the NCAA Division 1 and play Spring Madness that last several months?
The powers that run basketball are imbeciles. They will ruin a sport that is already in decline
You could drop conference tournaments and get done at same time now.
Let's just put every team name on a piece of paper and every day for the next 6 months- pull 2 names out of the fish bowl where the names are and those 2 teams are eliminated. Then on the 180th day declare a winner.
Since we are talking about stupid ideas like 90 team tournaments.

What a joke, why do we need more because St. Peter's kicked Cal's arse and they feel somebody left out might do it again. Just look at records of 14, 15 and 16 seeds and then tell me we need to add 32 more teams

Even that is four too many.
64 was the right number …they never should’ve expanded beyond that, and now they want to make a bad idea even worse.
90 teams Cal says brilliant idea he will never miss the tournament again! 😂
Yeah I saw a college writer saw make the final 8 teams all high major teams or the last 8 teams on the seed line instead of some of these small conference teams and I agree it would lead to better potential games, but 64 was perfect and they got greedy like they will be with the college football playoff
32 is enough is we are being serious.
Yeah. Make the regular season great again.
They have all their eggs in the March Madness basket. Here's a few ideas....
1. Delay the Start of the season by 1 month. Once the football championships are done, we should have major match ups on the 1st vacant weekend.
2. Get rid of the block/charge. I hate it, just a pet peeve of mine.
3. Widen the lane
4. Go to Qtrs, not halfs

128 team tournament where the first round is played on home courts. We dont need freaking byes and things that make it all complicated . just simple extra round where everyone plays and it would have to be 128 teams. granted I'd rather it stay as it is........ but if its going to change, 128 teams is the only number I'd like.
They just keep making it less and less special. Idiots! 64 was plenty. 68 is now plenty.NCAA committee recommendation would expand basketball tournaments to 90 teams

If they want to make a positive change how about a 3 game series once the FF starts. I would rather see those extra games instead of another 22 teams.
Coaches are gonna love that, they will be able to lose 15 games and get in the tournament now. We gonna have a 24 teams elimination to see who gets to right to play in the play in games! All right.NCAA committee recommendation would expand basketball tournaments to 90 teams

May as well have an all feelings tournament. That way last place Louisville can be honored and not made to feel bad.
I hear you all.
But there is a way of doing this where all that automatic bid stuff gets taken care of in play-in rounds and then after that you really do get the magic number 64—only now it means the 63 best teams plus the best Cinderella.
I wouldn’t mind seeing that tournament.

If they expand then fold the NIT into it and give auto bids to a conference's regular season champ AND it's tournament champion.
I agree, its too many. But if we are going to reward that many teams .... ALL reg Season Champs get a bid + All Conf Tourney Champs.
I know some conferences "don't deserve 2 bids". But NO CONFERENCES deserve 8, 9, 10 bids either. If we can't reward a reg season champ over a sub .500 Power 5 Conf afterthought....... then we should be thinking whether that conference deserves any bids.
Plus, at 90 bids I would rather see a conf winner like St Pete or Iona that maybe lost in their tourney but still got in rather that a 9th place Big Ten team. Neither are winning the title, but 1 of them earned a chance to try.
