Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5102914, member: 5685"] If you add in the conference regular season champs then we are talking a full day on Tuesday and Wednesday with 96 teams? While that seems enticing on the surface (four day event) if they seed it 1-96 it will be the Cinderellas playing those first days which puts them at a disadvantage for their next game and makes upset runs less likely. That is part of the NCAAT fun. Those 13-14 seeds are now 17-18 seeds who have to play a game on T/W and then have to play a fresh 1-2 seed on TH/. It would be naive to think that any expansion wouldn’t mainly benefit the P5 in both participants and money. That is another problem with expansion, it is driven not for the sport but for the power players to benefit. Sure if done right expansion sounds nice, but it won’t be done that way. [/QUOTE]
