NCAA President Charlie Baker Gives NCAA Tournament Expansion Update

This is so unnecessary. But they see $$$$ and that's all that happens.

Can probably get a few HS teams in there too

This past year's Monteverde team probably would hold their own against many of these expansion teams.

I realize this thread is old but it wasn't worth starting a new thread for this update.

"That would be the goal, to try and do this for next year," Baker said. "We've been talking about 72 and 76 [teams]."

This is a massive development, as NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt told CBS Sports just two months ago that a decision on future NCAA Tournament expansion was unlikely to come soon. Issues tied to expansion are certainly financial, but there are also other topics to discuss, such as preserving the tradition that has become March Madness.

More madness could be coming to March in the near future
