I’ve been saying for years it should go to 96 teams while merging with the NIT.
Each of the 32 conferences get a regular season and tournament champion in. Then there are 32 at large teams.
The conference tournament champs are seeded 1-32 and get a first round bye.
The conference regular season champs (or runner up if RSC wins tournament) are seeded 33-64 for the first round.
The at large teams are seeded 65-96
For the first round.
Teams that lose in the first or second round go to the NIT. The NCAA tournament plays out as regular other than the added first round games.

The perfect bracket is coming and they are scared. Seriously no reason for 76 teams

Who has been listening?
Want 37 seed to shock the world and string together 13 wins?

I’m not sure what they can do to make the girls games better. 22-19 midway thru the 3rd quarter is some lower level high school type scoring
Maybe 4 on 4 would be better

The women's tournament should be 8 teams, 16 tops. It has no business increasing to 76.
This is yet another year with four 1-seeds in the women's final four. It's ridiculous.

Did anyone ask for this, besides the TV people?
I think the fans are smart enough to know that 76 is too many. The people in charge are not.

If I had to guess, all the sports gambling companies.

Make it 128. Hell, make college football playoff 64 teams. Who gives AF if the product is good? Let's just chase every last dollar until it runs out.
Why stop there? Put every single team in the tournament. Think of the ad revenue!

What's even the point of having a regular season?
Posted on 4/4/26 at 8:51 am to hawgfaninc
This is so fricking stupid

If this news came out 2 days earlier, it would be funny.
And I would have clicked a link only to be calmed because the story would be from the Babylon Bee.
It’s hard to tell the difference these days.

Not sure I agree with 8 teams but it sure as frick doesn’t need expansion.
The talent pool isn’t deep enough to support that.
