[QUOTE="grue2, post: 2058909, member: 747155"] I suspect the difference in thinking is "20% of what?" ~225 of the ~360 D1 schools are in conferences that will only ever get their auto-bid, and will always fill in seeds 13-16. Expanding the tournament will not add any teams from those leagues. If one looks only at the power conferences, they are already sending over 20% of their teams. The BIG just sent 35% in a down year and sends 55-65% in a good year. [/QUOTE]
