A college sports industry with no restraint, no shame and no appreciation for its consumers did what came naturally Thursday. It formalized the expansion of something that almost nobody wants to see expanded.
The NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will be 76 teams in 2027. March Madness will continue to be contorted into something it shouldn’t be, adding eight more teams and eight more play-in games. The perfect tournament bracket, already sullied by going from 64 to 68, will be further graffiti’d to make more money and satisfy more millionaire coaches and athletic directors.
