I don't get it.  Every time the tourney has expanded in the past it's been a success.  At least in terms of the financial and eyeballs are concerned.  (If it hadn't been, there be no discussion about expanding it again.)

What I believe is true.  If the tourney consisted of the top 256 teams, we all would still end up loving it after a few years.  (Sure would take a long time to fill out the brackets though.)  I'm sure people will vehemently disagree, but I'm just as sure people would get use to it and start loving the format after 3 or 4 years.  When the tourney went from 32 to 64, many people thought it was a horrible idea.  They learned otherwise.  It's not about watering down the product.  It's about creating more product and bringing more eyeballs to the table.  (Eyeballs from teams that don't normally make it.)

Laugh if you will, history has a way of repeating itself.  I know, I know, but you don't want to be matched up with Cr@p-Cr@p State in the first round game.  Are you telling me you wouldn't cheer for your team anyway?  Come on, you know you would want to beat the S of those Cr@ppers all game long.
