by It looks like the NCAA basketball tournament is moving to a 96 team rotation. Which is a drastic expansion from the 65 teams you have all seen for years. The rumors have been out there for the change, but it looks closer and closer to be a “done deal”. It is obviously all for the mighty dollar, but with teams like the Connecticut Huskies and North Carolina Tar Heels playing like the New Jersey Nets. It wouldn’t surprise me to see some reasoning for the expansion to secure some fan favorite bubble teams a guaranteed shot into March Madness.
It will also be very interesting to see if this does anything to how College Football reacts to the never ending request for a playoff system. Which we all know nothing will happen on that front. So if you ever wanted to be a college sports athlete, you might as well choose basketball to avoid as much class time as humanely possible. Since with the expansion, “June Madness” is going to be incredible.
One thing is perfectly clear, my bracket will forever be wrong.
