Lance McAlister brought a good point on his blog regarding the potential expansion of the NCAA Tournament from 65 to 96. As you see most leagues place a much larger percentage of their teams into the tournament.
NCAA football: 68 of 119 play in bowl games, 57%
NBA: 16 of 30, 53.3%
NFL: 12 of 32, 37.5%
MLB: 8 of 30, 26.6%
NCAA basketball: 65 of 347, 18.7%
NCAA basketball (if expanded to 96): 96 of 347, 27.6%
One good thing an expansion would do is eliminate the play in game. Or would it create another 16 freaking play-in games.
