Ncaa Basketball Standards
May 19th, 2009

Why does the NCAA basketball tournament have 65 teams?
What’s with the extra game at the beginning of the tournament? Why not just have a standard 64 team field?
If it truly is to get more teams from less prominent conferences, why stop at only 1 more game?
It was a way to get mid- or low- major teams another team “in” the tournament. Although they’re not really in are they. The field will expand withing the next 10 years and that stupid play-in game will be extinct.
