NCAA president Charlie Baker tells Sports Illustrated Tuesday that it’s “a good question” whether the upcoming 2026 NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will be the final events to contain 68 teams.
“We’re certainly working to see if we can make it 72 or 76,” Baker says, referencing the must-discussed potential addition of four to eight teams for 2027 and beyond. He added that no firm decisions have been made.
