March Madness is the time of year when schools you have never heard of allow hope to spring eternal, only for Florida to swoop in and crush their one shining moment. The Gators are coming off a national title after entering the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed. In fact, the 2025 NCAA Tournament was notable because St. John's was the only No. 1 or No. 2 seed not to make the Elite Eight.
However, partly because of the massive arguments over UNC making the tournament only to get bounced by Ole Miss, the NCAA thinks even more teams should make March Madness, and this is a terrible idea for everyone involved.
