Is it time to expand the NCAA Tournament?

I am like any other man. All I do is supply a demand - Al Capone.

For 30 years, I was against it. Messing with the NCAA Tournament’s formula for success was sacrilege. The current format has been successful for so long that it didn’t make sense to consider change.

Until now.

There is a ravenous appetite for more games that needs to be fed and it’s time to expand the NCAA Tournament.

By the time the tournament gets to Saturday afternoon, the TV broadcast is down to only one game at a time for the earlier games before multiple games start to overlap for the late afternoon.
