[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 2058741, member: 748820"] None of what you are saying is based in fact, especially the first and last sentence. The number of fielded teams has only increased by 4 teams in the last 40 years (no reason to think we are really going to expand the field to over 100). Currently 19% or so teams make the tourney. Adding 8 teams (which would be on the high end), given the numerous new teams in D1 over next couple years, you are barely over your 20% threshold. I believe the likely change is 4 more teams added this next round of changes, meaning 72 total teams (2 play in games in each region). This would still be inside your threshold of acceptability.
