Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
We shouldn't be surprised to read NCAA president Mark Emmert revealing his support for a plus-one system. The NCAA's only real current product is its March Madness tournament, so why wouldn't it want to finally start making playoff money off a sport even bigger than basketball? It's schools and conferences who've outsourced the postseason, not the NCAA.
We'll also note the NCAA says it's worried about making football teams play as many as four postseason games but has expanded March Madness 10 times in the last 61 years, with a move to 96 or more teams not exactly ruled out.

in fairness to the NCAA...
4 more games on a college kid’s body could be a serious grind. Its not fair to compare what it takes to play basketball to whats required in football.

In further fairness, the NCAA already runs multiple multi-round football playoffs.
