That is rewarding mediocrity and we may a recipient of that ruling. Never thought I’d say that.

TCU
Ok State or Stanford

So stupid. Ruining the damn tournament.

 

[NociHTTP]

Dumb as hell. They're doing this because NIL is going to cause more and more teams to not be able to compete and get into a tournement of yesteryear. The sport is dying. The only ones who disagree with that are the ones who have the money and the recruiting to go with it.

NCAA trying to recoup some of that money from legal settlements and payouts.

100% all for this. Same number of games on Thurs-Sun. Only impacts Tuesday and Wednesday which now goes from 2 games each day to 6. Dayton and one other site. So much better than having a room full of people argue the merits of bubble teams. Just let them play each other. Problem solved. Just hope it is all the 11's, 12's and 16's.

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

This makes zero sense other than money.

Lol they will argue for 77 now.

I'm not gonna watch these games but some nerds on here might so no issue with this.

 

[Smeegs]

I hate this. There were already too many undeserving mediocre teams getting in. Now we get even more.

Oh they will definitely argue for 77 lol

 

[RedwoodHigh]

Power move to get rid of FOX Sports‘ THE CROWN-
Whats up with 32 team NIT now?

 

[PopesCrewCut]

This makes zero sense other than money.

Sports is all a huge money grab and little more. From the stiff suits at the top to the labor

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Its sad that these sport leagues cant just be satisfied with the billions they have, they have to continue to just squeeze the sports, regardless if it worsens the product. Its like adding two new NBA teams. All thats gonna do is just add two more tanking teams.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Only a matter of time before they expand to 360 teams.

 

[Madhuvan]

It’s going to 128 eventually. Might as well accept it.

TCU made the tournament. They even reached the second round!

Turning into to a mid major tournament. With the NCAA owning the NIT, they could have just turned the NIT into a play in tournament where the champion gets the last spot in the NCAA Tournament. The NIT would be relevant again.

 

[mhs1964]

Money, money, money, money. On and on. It has become another professional league.

 

[Wayne Dougan]

Everything sucks. Announce who was responsible for this and start shaming their kids. I would never advocate for this in the past, but eff it. These money grubbing whores might respond to their family's complaining.

 

[Wayne Dougan]

It’s going to 128 eventually. Might as well accept it.

The dumb thing is, the conference tournament IS the first round. All these crap teams play for their life in that tournament. I hate the NCAA.

 

[kywildcats4life]

JOKE.

 

[RoyKent]

This is worse than Stokes to KU.

can’t wait for the 1 versus 23 matchup!
