I’m sorry, but this is such a simpleton response. “There is no harm to expansion…” is complete BS. The only thing about college basketball that is popular to the masses is March Madness. Why’s that…? Brackets and pools. How many people who don’t watch one second of college basketball during the season tune in to March because there’s some $$ or bragging rights on the line?

Do you think the average casual fan is going to keep filling out brackets if it becomes so convoluted with 96 or 128 teams that it can’t fit onto a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper?

I’m not being a snob for my opinion, actually the opposite. I’m literally advocating to keep the current format so casual fans who only care about the tournament stay interested in the sport. I will watch basketball in November/Decmeber (and March) regardless of the format. I love the current tournament because I can talk to just about anyone about brackets, upsets, Cinderella’s, etc.
