They’ll just expand it to a 64 team tournament, plus a play in game.
Some people won’t know I’m joking.
lol. would you believe I have actually heard 64 seriously suggested? typically, it involves cutting the regular season in half. for those that worship at the alter of the sacred playoff, nothing is spared, and nothing is too extreme.
by the way, the fact that college basketball runs a tournament field of 64 is an admission that the selection process is inherently flawed and arbitrary - their imperfect solution is to make the field so outrageously huge that by the time you get to the schools that got screwed, they are typically such small institutions that no one really takes any notice.
that’s neither “fair” nor “fixed”. In fact, it’s almost the exact opposite. it’s knowingly screwing the littlest guy possible.
I say we do 128 teams.
