and women’s tournaments to 76 teams


Uh...this is like getting a refill of Pepsi and all the Server does is add more ice.

Obtuse uniformity, just because the Men are doing it...gotta be equal!...despite the absurdity of it being implemented on the Women's side.

Just because you politically ignore the disparity in the products doesn't mean its not obvious.

So this will mean 52 automatic bids and 24 teams playing 12 play-in games, as opposed to 60 automatic bids and 8 teams playing 4 play-in games.

It can work if needed, it’s going to require 6 games on Tuesday and 6 more on Wednesday.

Dayton has apparently embraced their role as a host and can do a third set of games each day imo, but they’ll need to find another site for 3 games each on Tuesday and Wednesday for these entirely unnecessary games.

No, the 37th seed would be equivalent to a 10 seed.

Expansion to 96 would only add one more game to the number needed (6 instead of 7). Same situation as the current “first four” games.
