Dedicated sports fans probably know about the NCAA’s attempt to increase the number of teams in the NCAA tournament from 65 to as much as 96 teams by now. Many coaches have come out in support of the idea, saying more teams should be allowed to play in the tournament and using college football as an example because the sport allows countless bowl games to happen before the national championship.As a lifelong college basketball fan, when I heard the news that the NCAA was really serious about the idea, a number of things came to mind. My usual habit of taking the month of March off to celebrate the unofficial holiday will have to start a little earlier if this change occurs. And instead of having my bracket on one sheet of paper, I’m going to require use of the Command Center at the Kennedy Space Center to keep up with my bracket.Like many of you, I smell a moneymaker. The NCAA sees expanding the dance as a way to make more money. But is making more money worth diluting the mystique of the tournament? What I love so much about the Madness in March is when it comes down to picking the lucky 65, there is so little room for error, and the next three weeks are some of the best weeks in the sports world.One year your team can be asked by its crush if they want to dance. The next year your team might be up against the wall watching its crush dance with another team that just had two or three more quality wins, and your RPI wasn’t appealing enough. That’s the nature of the sport, and it maintains a healthy level of competitiveness.This is the same NCAA that doesn’t want a college football playoff race. A big justification for that decision is, believe it or not, that football players will miss too many classes. Sound fishy to you? Last I checked, basketball teams missed more classes and if you expand the tournament, they’re going to miss the whole semester.And then I thought, if the NCAA is going to expand the tourney to 96 teams, why not just expand it to 347 teams? That’s how many teams play Division-I basketball. Just dance from the start of the regular season in November until April. It will be the biggest party known to man, and the best part is everyone is invited. Worried about your team’s invitation to the dance? With the way the NCAA is going, your beloved team can go 0-and whatever in conference play and still get the call.In all seriousness, the only good thing about expanding the tournament to me is giving more college athletes the opportunity to participate in something that few get to experience. That being said, you should still have to be the best of the best in order to get there.For all the dumb rules and ideas the NCAA comes up with, this is one of the silliest. Being selective with your dancing partners is not a bad thing, and this is the one thing the NCAA has mastered perfectly. I feel that if riches-seeking management alters the tournament bracket, it will ruin the party.
