Translation: more teams = more money to the NCAA and CBS
or the best 76, or 92, or 100+ teams. At some point these athletes, who are now quasi professional, have to outgrow the participation trophy atmosphere. There are 64 teams who make the tournament. While there are always disputes over the final 6 or so, the reality is that at some point you make the tournament or you don’t. As any Cubs fan can tell you….there’s always next year….
Are we going to get to the point where any college team with a winning record gets to PARTICIPATE in the tournament, then everyone could get a PARTICPATION ribbon to take home.
So maybe IU could make the tournament someday.
