Expanding the NCAA Tournament to All Teams Gains Traction

In the New Republic, Leitch agrees with my "expand-the-NCAA-Tournament-to-everyone" theory.

I just can't get behind it....Does too little to reward the regular season to me....And I really don't see the reasoning that a 4-22 team from the Big South should keep playing

except no one cares what Leitch thinks outside of Deadspin. Call me when espn or si care.

I think the season is already too long. There are 30+ games over almost 7 months. That is a lot of time for a young kid to play. You get to the point where the season is survival and not who is best.

Ummm, no. Keep it as is.

Almost every team has a chance to make the tournament via their conference tournament auto bid anyway. Getting to the dance should be a reward for a good season, or at least a magical run to the conference auto-bid title. Letting everyone in? Yawn.

And I shouldn't need to point out your inconsistent opinions on this and NCAA football.
