Thursday Dots: March Randomness
The NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will expand to 76 teams beginning in 2027. The move is purely financial, as it does not elevate competition within the tournament. It does create more slots for the UW men’s program, which has struggled mightily in recent years, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pretend to support the expanded format.
The NCAA, college sports decision-makers as a whole, does its best to ignore the advice that says, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” On the bright side, expanding the tournament won’t cause a drastic shift in the sport, so it isn’t the worst thing ever. Still, it’s very unnecessary.
