There is a lot to unpack in here. To me another big one is that schools have to meet a minimum financial investment for every sport if they want it counted toward the sports minimum.

Both Jon Rothstein and Matt Notlander are hedging against this, saying it may only apply to other sport. Don’t mess with the tournament.

The P5 plus the 25 other conference winners

 

[Luna]

In basketball… its the p6

 

[MuchoDogYears]

No.

If you’re going to expand it, expand it. Stop with the incremental crap. Invite 256 and play one additional weekend to get it down to 64. Everyone’s happy.

i like this. a lot.
i guess the problem with it would be the seeding thing.
not to be dismissive for so many squads, but it seems like picking the order after, say the first 80 or so teams would be a challenge.
'#217? no way, we're definitely top 150! we wuz robbed!'

The first time a #1 seed loses to a #64 seed will be fantastic

 

[Luna]

I would think the ncca pay out credits would be less… and a conference like the big east that would be a big deal

Wait, schools cannot provide reasonable entertainment to student athletes at any time? Somewhere, Rick Pitino’s eyes just lit up.

Yes!​

Oh please no. Stop fiddling with the best thing in college sports.

 

[Devland]

With the current system, where conference tourney Champs get an automatic bid, essentially no team is eliminated until they lose in their conference tournament. Kind of makes the regular season irrelevant.

Just delete my account if UConn ever misses a 90-team tournament. I don’t even want to know what this place would look like.

But it’s not

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

Such a ridiculous idea. Don't these people have anything better to do?

 

[superjohn]

But it’s not

P5 is a football term, it's P6 in basketball.

 

[Poe]

How about just go back to 64 and get rid of the 68 team nonsense.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Oh please no. Stop fiddling with the best thing in college sports.

They’re doing it with the World Cup too

How would Cuse get in?

Champions League
World Cup
NCAA tournament

All reformed and loses some of the appeal.
In the case of WC and NCAA it renders the regular season or qualification almost unimportant

 

[UConnSwag11]

They’re doing it with the World Cup too

Also a "super champions league" is being floated around

Greed is ruining sports, it's sad and pathetic.

Expanded MLB and NFL playoffs too.

Let's roll. FIFA is a sham
