NCAA president Charlie Baker wants to expand March Madness, adding four or eight teams to the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments, which currently feature 68 programs each. Expansion could come in time for the 2027 NCAA tournaments, but no decisions will be made until “One Shining Moment” plays and this year’s tournaments come to a close.
Hours after Baker repeated that he would like to see the tournaments expand and that “We’re still talking about it,” per ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, NCAA vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt confirmed that nothing will change until after this year’s tournaments, which tip off in just under a month.
