Simpleton response? lol. Don’t apologize and throw an insult. You qualify your response as better by countering your opinion with mine. Where did I say anything about 96 or 128? That’s not what I said.

The shift to 64 is almost 40 yrs ago. The college sports landscape is ready to collapse on itself to consolidate further so any way to counter that is a positive. The argument for non expansion to me is simple- cut the number of teams in half or down 40 pct and make it 68/200 for instance and the rest play in a lower league. We aren’t chasing casual fans away expanding - that’s get off my lawn logic and just disliking change.

The landscape has changed immensely. You didn’t even take into consideration half what a posted before slinging mud at it. I don’t know what the number is but claiming more than 68 will dilute it too much is hanging on to a past that no longer exists.

What sense does it make for the NBA to move to a model where 67 pct of the league plays in the post season but college hoops would be overly diluted to expand beyond 20 pct?  Even in my example of being at 200 teams - 68 is still only 34 pct. I’m not counting the NIT here either .
