Why are we so afraid of change?
In 2010, the NCAA was very close to expanding its tournament to 96 games.
Quite possibly because of the ever-increasing cries of heresy among fans, though, that change never came. We instead had to settle for the current 68-team format.
But that’s just not enough.
The first two days of March Madness are the most exciting days of the sports calendar. Do we really not want more of that? How can more meaningful basketball be a bad thing?
