An NCAA Tournament for everyone is not how Rutgers should end 30 year drought

On Wednesday, the ACC men’s basketball coaches surprisingly announced they are proposing an NCAA Tournament that every Division I team for this upcoming season. If it became reality, that would result in a field over five times larger than normal, expanding from 68 teams to 346 teams that are eligible for this season. Legendary Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski is apparently a leading voice within the conference on this proposal and said in a statement a key reason is that “we believe in the important of celebrating our game”

I’m not sure how expanding a prestigious event like the NCAA Tournament would celebrate the game.
