There have been some whispers about the NCAA looking to expand the Basketball Tournament from the current format of 68 teams. Remember when the field was just 64? Now, the NCAA is looking to add more teams to the field.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports and On3 reported on Tuesday morning that there are serious talks about expanding the field as soon as the 2026-27 season to 76 teams. That would be adding eight more teams to a tournament that already feels like it is overloaded with teams now, with 68. Again, remember the days of just 64 teams?
