Or maybe even 96 teams...
..expansion would mostly be for the INCLUSION of all the conference regular season champs...
..so that would mean teams like ISU last year would get in -
"Good teams from major conferences have margin for error;
good teams from mid-major conferences do not. Modest expansion can correct this.
...let's investigate using the opening round for a floating number of regular-season champions who are not otherwise selected. ...
The additional wild cards -- last season's could have been regular-season winners Illinois State, UT Arlington, Monmouth and Belmont --
would play the last four at-large selections ...Winners become the four No. 12 seeds in the main bracket."
