I mean at this point just get rid of the regular season and let everyone in. Seems like such a stupid move especially considering we've entered a time where the tournament is already very chalky as it is.

Man I'm stoked to watch some P5 teams with losing records duke it out ahead of the R64.

Opt Out NIT Tourney will really be bad now.

What's known now as the First Four -- eight teams playing four games in Dayton, Ohio -- will expand to 12 games played by 24 teams at two different sites, one of which is expected to remain in Dayton.
At least they're calling it an expansion of the "first 4 in" concept.

At this point, why not just invite all 350 or so D-I teams to the tournament?

SEC going to get all 16 in every so often, huh?

I that case. They better let my under 18 AAU team in…

Rumor has it South Carolina and LSU have asked to expand to 230 teams so they have a shot.

you all remember when Mike Leach said the football playoff should be 64 teams?

I remember when the fake news posted by the Onion was too absurd to consider real without going to extremes.
These days, it seems they have to go even more absurd just to not be mistaken for real news.

More banners can be sold to hang from the rafters.

They did a great bit about a brainstorming session where each of them came up with the most absurd story possible, and they were shot down one by one because they were already happening in real life.

Coaches at middling bball programs who have contract bonuses for making the tourney feeling pretty awesome right now.

Can’t wait for multiple days of discussion on the bubble teams that deserve the 74th spot
