Kevin Craft at the Atlantic has a great suggestion: Make the conference winners in the round of 64 and use the play-in games to weed out the bubble teams. He calls it the “one tweak” that would make the NCAA tourney more exciting: There is, however, one minor adjustment which, if implemented, could make March […]

No, Butler University is not moving to the River City. But this report in the Indianapolis Star (and this one in our own Times-Dispatch) indicates that there is serious talks for Butler Bulldogs to replace Temple in the Atlantic 10: ESPN.com, without identifying sources, reported Monday that Butler has expressed interest in replacing Temple in […]

It must be that time of year again: Sandy rants about how the NCAA field is not fairly selected. Well, it still isn’t! I have suggested that Division I coaches and ADs should NOT select the NCAA field but rather Division II and III coaches and ADs. Yes, I know they have to leave the […]

Time for another sports rant! (If Rick Santilli can do it, so can I!) Real Clear Sports reports that the NCAA has no immediate plans to expand the Basketball tournament in the future from the present 68 teams. The NCAA is more concerned about making sure its first 68-team basketball tournament goes off without a […]

I wrote last week that I supported tentatively some sort of expansion of the NCAA basketball tourney so that the regular season and tournament winners from each conference go to ensure each conference gets its best team overall in the NCAAs. Here’s one proposed 96 team bracket. Perhaps some early games are not great but […]

Tom warned you I might write about sports. I try not to present sports as news (who beat whom – unless its that SAINTS beat COLTS thing or something like that :)) but rather the policy and decision-making behind sports. Several writers have discussed the proposed expansion of the NCAA tourney to 96 teams. Syracuse’s […]
