96 teams in March Madness...


Take a look at this

First off, I am trying to do the “Que Sera, Sera” thing (Doris Day was hot, by the way...... )

but not quite making it.

So my real first thought:

MONEY TALKS... I think ESPN will get in on the tournament. And may eventually take over the whole darn thing with their multiple channels. That may not be a bad thing, unless you don't have cable.

Of course, that could sour if the media capitalists figure out a way to charge beyond cable fees.

Second coherent thought: Number 1 playing number number 24?

Where is the “madness” in that? BORING.

Please work in some "bye" games.

And there is a badge of honor to making the field of 64/65. I think that may fade, if 96 teams are invited.

And let's look at UK 08-09. They'd have made the dance. There wouldn not have been an

“Are you (insert inappropriate word here) me?... The NIT?” from fans. BCG was probably gone, regardless. But the bar lowers for other coaches.

Stick with 64. And even drop the 64/65 game. Dayton will survive.

But whatever will be, will be....

Thoughts? This should be fun
