Izzo told reporters ahead of the Spartans’ first-round game against Mississippi State Friday in Charlotte that automatic bids for mid- and low-major conference tournament champions have “got to be looked at seriously.”
“While everybody likes the upsets in the first round I’m not sure if that’s true as it goes on,” Izzo said, per ESPN’s David Hale.

It's dumb, but the big conferences will try to push it so they get more of the money.
None of these bubble teams ever win the whole thing, so what is his logic of needing more bubble teams from big conferences?

He should sit this one out this year...His team is 19-14 and the epitome of a "bubble team"...he should be thankful his "name" got Michigan State into the tournament over schools that were way more deserving!! He is old and tired...if MSU had any guts, they would tell him it's time to retire!! Maybe he cant keep up anymore and should take a page from Roy, K and Jay??

Straight up ranking the top 68 teams would have a lot more upsets and more parity but would be a far worse product.
I do like in basketball how every team still has a shot at the end. Like even years when we go 1-17 in the SEC, we technically can win the NCAAT

They need to expand to 100 or so teams
If football is going to have 14 or 16, basketball might as well have 100 in the basketball tournament

I could not disagree more. Those smaller conference tournament championship games are peak excitement with a spot in the Big Dance on the line - win gets it, loser is crushed. Plus the Cinderella wins in the NCAA tournament. Would be ridiculous to intentionally eliminate all of this.

Anyone who uses the term "mid major" in 2024 is a jackass.

the day stories like St. Peter's arent a thing anymore is the day i quit caring about the ncaa tournament. It's the only thing keeping me around now.

If anything teams like USF and Indiana State should get in over a 20-15 team
Posted on 3/20/24 at 2:27 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
The ought to back off giving bids to teams that finish 5th in the their conference, no matter the size of the conference. If you have had a season to prove that you are not a top 5 conference team, then you have proven you don't belong in the tournament.

Well that asswipe has been on a mission to eliminate every Conference and just have the media follow the SEC...so he's not really an objective voice and his opinions are not healthy for National college athletics.

Small conference Cinderellas are like the best part of the sport.
So yea, fuk it, get rid of em.

Lol at this self serving shithead vomiting out this BS the same day UVA gave us all proof positive that mid tier teams from power conferences need to shut the frick up and deal w/sometimes getting bumped off the bubble.

Not only no, but hell no.

yeah, i mean who doesnt want 19-14 10-10 majors in the tourney
izzo can go frick himself, he's a little count, crying about midmajors. He should worry about his mediocre team, and the coaching job he did, not midmajors.

The only reason people give a shite about the NCAA tournament is because of those teams. Nobody watches the 11am game that's tight to the wire when it's Michigan State vs Stanford. But they sure do when it's Michigan State vs Murray State.

He can f’ng piss off. SLU beats him if they didn’t lose a timeout on a bogus call in 2012.
