On Wednesday, the ACC men’s basketball coaches surprisingly announced they are proposing an NCAA Tournament that every Division I team for this upcoming season. If it became reality, that would result in a field over five times larger than normal, expanding from 68 teams to 346 teams that are eligible for this season. Legendary Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski is apparently a leading voice within the conference on this proposal and said in a statement a key reason is that “we believe in the important of celebrating our game”
I’m not sure how expanding a prestigious event like the NCAA Tournament would celebrate the game.
