Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5308117, member: 10"] Some people are making the argument that since there are more DI schools now there should be more teams in the NCAA Tournament. I thought this was an interesting stat to argue why this isn't a good reason. [I] There have been 2,520 games played in the tournament proper -- the field of 64 and beyond -- since 1985. Do you want to know how many D-I schools added since '85 have won a first round game or later? In 2,520 games? The answer is 19. Nineteen out of 2,520. That's well under 1% -- 0.754%, in fact. A laughably low number. Here are those schools and the years they did it.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/heres-the-math-and-data-that-prove-why-the-ncaa-tournament-doesnt-need-to-expand/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
