I am hearing 72 teams next year. I guess it would be The First 8. Dayton would host four teams and another site TBD would get four teams.. maybe the second location is out west.

I wouldn’t be opposed to adding 4 teams to get to 72 but I hope they stop there and don’t ruin a good thing.

The odds those 4 extra teams are from Power 5 conferences?

It was inevitable, but thought it might be another year or two.
 






This to me is way worse for the game than NIL. I hate 68 with every fiber of my body and 72 96 128 whatever will be worse. I hate rewarding mediocrity. Hey UNC 1-11 vs top 100, you're in! Make it mean something to make the tournament.

Agree.
IMO go back to 64 teams and also get rid of the conf tourneys.
The conf tourneys are overkill. Perfect storm is regular season and go right into the Dance.
Sometimes less is more.

It’s like a 6-6 team in a bowl game!
