Two things I don’t like about this:

  1. I think it’s just a step towards killing the NIT off. At 80 or 90 teams, that would be less than the current NCAA+NIT fields. And guess which schools would get cut?

  2. Using the UAB fan example, you’re also talking about around 8 play in games. Even if a lot of mid majors do make it, they will all be relegated to that.

An expansion to 90 would probably result in an entire P6 conference (or more) making the field.

Did the original tweet already get deleted?

Yes, it did. My recollection is that it was critical of the Transformation Committee for not consulting with the overseers of the individual sports.

Behold the power of “Greg Sankey and the big boys”

Congress can only make it worse.

So basically will serve as de facto full-time lobbyist in DC. Hmm… :thinking:

And see I’m not the only one thinking Baker is going to DC to lobby on behalf of the NCAA:
