College basketball tourney may grow

[The Bubba]

INDIANAPOLIS - In a perfect world, college basketball coaches would nearly double the size of the 65-team NCAA men's tournament field. Realistically, they'd accept a smaller victory.

Motivated in part by George Mason's remarkable Final Four run last season, coaches will urge the NCAA to expand its most lucrative championship event during the men's and women's basketball committee meetings in Orlando, Fla., this week.

Would increasing the amount of teams make it more interesting or too long? I kind of like it the way it is.

This is interesting for sure. I love each and every tournament game so it would be that much better in that respect. I only wonder if increasing it to 128 teams would make the regular season and conference tournaments even less meaningful? I mean they play all of those now to eliminate about 3 or 4 teams from the Big East!

On a side note that extra week of play might hit me hard in the vacation time, but I would take one for the team if necessary!

Making the tournament would lose some of it's luster I'm afraid.

If you were in a major conference and finished .500 or better youd go to the tournament every year!

Maybe they could just throw in a few more play-in games. I think that doubling the tourney size is just too much.
