Why Michigan Basketball fans should be against expanding March Madness

For college hoops junkies, March is a sacred time each and every year. No postseason tournament in the world quite matches up to the excitement of the NCAA Tournament in men’s basketball.

However, the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker, recently expressed a desire to expand the tournament. If you’re a Michigan fan, you should be adamantly against this possibility.

After a few down seasons at the end of Juwan Howard’s tenure, Dusty May reinvigorated the fan base in Year 1 a season ago. The short-term goal was to simply make the NCAA Tournament. May obviously did that, as Michigan not only made the tournament but reached the Sweet Sixteen, along with winning the Big Ten Tournament championship.
