ACC votes to have all D-1 teams in 2021 NCAA tournament

[Problem2]

350+ teams holy ****

 

[Cesarmao]

Scrap all conferences and Just have a yearly D1 Tourney of all teams compete for a Natty

If all teams are in what is the point in having a regular season if there is no qualifying.
If it is one and done that would equate to approx. 10 games. If you drop the now meaningless regular season to about 10-15
games you could have the tourney like baseball with a losers bracket. It would be difficult for even the best teams to win 10 in a row.

Maybe thought is play for rankings/seedings?

They're saying no conference tournaments if this goes through

First round would start in beginning of March. Can't lie, for one season, I think it would be pretty cool

Sounds good until we get knocked out in the first round of 350 teams

68 teams takes 1 month so 350 teams will take approximately 5 months.

So March Madness becomes Summer Madness.

Sounds good until you actually think about it and have to make it happen.

Would need two days or three just to fill a bracket out.

Incredibly ****** stupid idea and makes the regular season even more worthless than it already is

A simple 256 game tournament is only two extra games, or one more weekend compared to 64. So, no. It would add one more week, not four extra months, lol.

****, a 512 game tournament would only be three extra games. So the answer for 350 is in between, probably a situation where we add an extra 10-12 days total or so, and some teams get a first round bye.

That’s some stupid maths right there!!

Haha not sure if serious, but not how it works. It’s about 2-3 more games. 350/2/2 = 88 teams after 2 additional games

The participation trophy weenies have take over sports

I have been saying this for years. If you get rid of conference tournaments it equates to the same number of games. The only thing I would add is a blind draw no seedings for the tourney.

That would mark the end of my interest in college basketball.

I suppose there would be a lot more Cinderella stories.
