Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 5344498, member: 6477"] The NCAA is so badly run and stupid. What is their thinking? Like many have said, the original 64 team, survive and advance format is one of the greatest sporting events in the world... ever. Did they hire a consulting firm and are they the same guys who came up with the joke of the NBA Cup? If they expand for greed's sake, I just want a rule where any automatic bid winner (tournament or the Ivy League's season) be automatically in the field of 64. Part of the 'magic' is seeing those kids you never hear about getting their chance on the opening weekend. We know this is most likely a pressure move as we move toward 4 power mega conferences and the fact that some teams would end up out because they cannibalize each other in conference play and of course more games means more advertising and more money. I don't watch the play in games as it is to be honest. I won't watch these games either. And I can't wait for one of these OAD big NIL frosh or sophs refuse to play in the play-in game to protect from injury like we're starting to see in some of the smaller bowl games. [/QUOTE]
