March Madness could be one step closer to a new look. The NCAA transformation committee made multiple recommendations Tuesday, including potential expanding the tournament to 25% of teams.
The committee made its recommendations Tuesday afternoon and it could lead to a 90-team tournament field — a significant increase from the current tournament — depending on multiple factors. According to the committee, expanding tournaments will be decided on a sport by sport basis. Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger noted an expanded NCAA Tournament is not a slam dunk, though. He said “many” in college basketball circles do not support the idea of increasing the field from 68 teams.
