Let's take a method used by many international soccer tournaments and apply it to the NCAA Tournament.
With the UEFA Euro 2016 and Copa America Centenario being played right now, it sort of feels like a pseudo-World Cup (in my limited soccer opinion anyways). As the Copa enters the semi-finals and Euro finishes group play, it got me thinking:
What if the NCAA Tournament had a similar format? Group play for the first rounds, followed by single elimination games?
After all, some of us don't like the full single elimination format given Purdue's early exits the last 2 seasons.
