SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey Open to Expanding NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey believes it is time to start considering the possibility of expanding the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

According to SI.com's Pat Forde, Sankey wants to take a "fresh look" at March Madness in order to determine if it would be viable or necessary to add more teams to the field in the future.

Currently, 68 teams make the NCAA men's basketball tourney, and while Sankey said he is "not ready to make headlines there yet," he wants to have conversations about how more big-conference bubble teams can be included in the field.
