Message: [QUOTE="sufan59, post: 4988359, member: 8789"] They had a discussion on expansion during college gameday on Saturday. Greenberg was the only one in support for expansion on the panel. He may still be at Virginia Tech if the tournament expanded years ago. The argument Bilas made is that teams have the ability to get the auto bid during the conference tournament. I think seeing that “upsets” in the tourney, 12 over 5 and 11 over 6 aren’t considered a big deal and this season with top 10 teams losing a lot of games on the road to unranked teams suggests that there is so many more good teams today in College Basketball. As you described there is no different between 30 and 70. IMO, there is only two solutions that make sense moving forward, either you make the NCAA tourney a conference championship tourney only or expand the tournament to ensure that power conference teams with overall winning records and winning conference records are making the field.
