NCAA Considering Expanding March Madness

The NCAA is considering expanding the tournament from 65 teams to 96 teams. While some people think this is a good idea, I believe it's a bad idea. I'm a big believer in if it's not broke then don't fix it. The tournament is fine the way it is. The NCAA is probably thinking about doing this because they feel it will bring them more money. While it may generate revenue, it would put teams on the court with average to less than stellar records. I seriously doubt if anyone would watch the games of the teams ranked 66th or lower. Another thing to consider would be the effect it would have on the NIT. If the NCAA were to expand to 96 teams, then the NIT would risk having teams with really bad records playing. This would really hurt their revenue. Everything should be kept the way it is. It's currently a good system that doesn't need to be tinkered with.
