Message: [QUOTE="Cuse181, post: 4729366, member: 8295"] That wouldn't be march madness. The whole point of the tournament is that not everybody is invited. If you cut the tournament into 12 teams for basketball (top 20% of the 60), you would lose hundreds of millions of dollars in value. At best the schools would break even on the costs required to put the tournament on due to the massive downgrade in value you would see from TV partners. Not a single president (of a media company or a university) would advocate for changing the tournament structure to be [I]smaller[/I] than it is today. [/QUOTE]
