Has anyone besides me heard the rumor about the NCAA possibly expanding the tournament to 96 teams? Isn't there something like 117 D1 teams total? If so, they should just open it to everybody. Then, the Final Four will spillover into baseball season.
One stated that the expansion would equate to 28% of the 346 div. 1 teams would then be playing in the tournament. It also claims that presently 58% of Div.1 football teams(that seems high)accept bowl bids.
Another article has some Div. 1 teams claiming 'ridiculous' due to the RPI factors of suppossed 'lesser' schools.
Both articles claim the expansion would render the regular season pointless. That's possible outside of determining(once again)who goes and WHERE(which region).
What do I care. Anything outside of the ACC(and Maryland kicking Duke and Carolina's asses)is moot to me. HAHA.
the Devils as it's usually Turtle soup-smile-Fear the Terdle? Ha-and your gang's whipping Tar Heel and Devil butt? Well, I suppose you enjoy those scarcer than hen's teeth moments-grin-and I wish your gang the best-They've been whipping boys for the Big 4 since the 50's with rare exception-I go back to when Gene Shue was a player and also Lefty Driesell, who you guys hired since he was a Duke alum-grin-and gave you your best years-well, you had 1 good one with Williams-Have a great week and always enjoy your posts-1rob.....ACC roundball rules!...out 8-)
in football, and now this. I can't speak for others, but the more they expand bowl games in football and increase the size of the basketball tournament, the more I lose interest.
With all due respect, these "lesser" teams have a wonderful opportunity to participate in post season play: it's called the NIT.
It is true that we all have our issues with NCAA and how they operate. This just seems to directly reinforce these deeply held beliefs.
Furthermore, if I were in the NCAA's position and still very interested in expanding "bracketology", I would loose all arguements that that use the NCAA FBS to support the idea. That is anything but running smoothlessly in any effort to determine a national champion.
