Presumably the idea here is to get the NCAA to pay for the extra protocols that are going to have to be in place rather than it be up to the conferences themselves right?

I think if they want to have everyone in the tournament that that's going to be about the only way to do it.

I'd also guess that a bunch of single-bid leagues don't even play this year, turning 350 D1 teams into about 120-ish high-major, mid-major teams. And then it becomes much more feasible to add another round to make it 128 and of course at that point all the Power 5 schools will want to be included

I'd have to imagine that if they were to say that every team makes the tournament, as many of the smaller leagues would try and have a season to get a chunk of the post season revenues

I don't think that would be their first choice, no, but I don't see how a 300-something team tournament is very workable either.

If not, how much more money is being put in the small school coffers?

We made the tournament!!!
When I heard this proposal, this was the first video I was thinking of. Billy Kennedy would probably support this idea.94chem said:
Like 1974, when NC State beat Maryland in the ACCT 104-103. State took the NCAAT bid and ran the table with DAavid Thompson, beating UCLA again.wacarnolds said:bobinator said:

You really think the ACC (just taking 1 conference as an example) is going to willingly turn itself into a single bid conference?

Freeze frame the brackets as they go by. I think there's Duke Intramurals, Tyler Hansbrough Fan Club, and other stuff...DukeMu said:AggieTFA06 said:When I heard this proposal, this was the first video I was thinking of. Billy Kennedy would probably support this idea.94chem said:
