[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2058752, member: 746137"] This is the exact tone every article about this concept takes and it drives me insane. Tournament expansion is a horrifically bad idea, everyone knows it, but this lobotomized learned helplessness about the need to always maximize the short-term TV contract for every sports property has fans acting like it's somehow savvy business to degrade and destroy the reasons we love these competitions in the first place. College football has destroyed itself. If college basketball turns the NCAA tournament into something not easily captured in an 8.5-11 sheet of office pool paper, they will have destroyed college basketball too. [/QUOTE]
