Ignoring the elephant in the room of trying to do this

during COVID in the Spring, but can you imagine the logistics of organizing 175 neutral site games?
This makes no sense...

Idea brought forward by a conference that can't even figure out their own divisions or allows a school in for one year and compete for the football title immediately. Who in the right mind would listen to the ACC.

Who would get the bye in the second round when 175 teams would be playing?

Pretty impressive stuff by Brownlee to convince Coach K to propose this so Brownlee can be guaranteed in the Tourney and secure his contract extension for making it.
Brilliant Brownlee as I always call him!

Hey, I was shocked the convince them to cancel the ACC tourney in the spring... thus making it the first tourney we weren't eliminated - which is a bonus clause in his contract. Smart man.

their contracts for making the NCAAT. That could lead to some interesting legal battles and extra expenses for athletic departments.

What if the ACC had the top 4 ranked teams in the NCAA? Three would be eliminated in the first round (the ACC tournament). Would they then be eligible to play in the NIT? I'm not sure I understand the format.

I see. It's a jailbreak format that employs a very large panel to fit every team into a nationwide equitable tournament.

I had to look at a calendar to confirm it's not April Fool's Day. My question is WHY?

Bottom line: It would add 2 additional rounds in the tournament and thus an additional weekend. That’s additional $$$ to help make up for last season’s cancellation.
From a competitive standpoint, it may be difficult to judge teams playing a more limited schedule this season.
So, tee it up, let everyone in and grab the popcorn.

You remember when teams actually had to win something to go to the dance? Such as win the ACC? I do but I’m an old fart.

Are you kidding?! I would LOVE this!! Multiply the drama, upsets, crazy comebacks and buzzer beaters by 5...only add one weekend, and set the payout for predicting a perfect bracket at $1b. This would be amazing TV!

Crazy idea. Not sure how the brackets would work because there would be 4 or 5 rounds with uneven numbers. What a change from the greatest basketball weekend (Sweet 16) to a Double 2 weekend (22 teams) or a Double 1 weekend (11 teams).

It’s already too big as it is and the season is too long too.
