The lead story on SI.com today is that the expansion of the NCAA to 96 teams looks certain.  I for one think this is a terrible idea, it will just water down the tournament even more.  I know this format would have given the 'Cuse a few more bids in the past, but this format would add more undeserving teams rather than saving decent bubble teams.  I would be fine with a 68 team tournament, add a play-in game in each bracket.  Then you could stick some of the really bad automatic qualifiers there, and add some better bubble teams.  Also, you could eliminate some "bid stealers" by making automatic bids go to the regular season champs only.  It appears to be more of a money grab than any concern for quality of March basketball. These are just my thoughts, feel free to chime in.
