NCAA Tournament will expand to 76 teams

[Mike Nolan]

There were three post-season tournaments other than the NCAA Tournament last year.  One of them announced at the last minute that it was not going to have a 2026 tournament, whether it exists in 2027 remains to be seen.  The Crown tournament, which Nebraska won a year ago, reduced the number of teams for 2026.  The NIT has been limping along for decades.

Will any of them survive to 2028?

Having 24 teams play-in on Tuesday/Wednesday instead of 8 will be a significant change in tournament strategy.
