[NU Sports] NCAA Poised to Expand to Field of 96; NIT Slated for Extinction

[Roy S. Lamberton]

96 next year, then everyone over .500, then everyone.

And it will be a big yawn because the same 25 teams will always be in there.

Remember that when Rome started to fall apart, 
with scandals and financial ruin, the Caesars 
placated the masses with bread and circuses.

The problem is they'll be taking our bread, 
and the circus is in Washington....

Don't re-elect nobody, not even yo mama!

96? Why????

I've always thought 64 was way too many to begin with. A good portion of the 64 teams
already have essentially no chance whatsoever of winning the tournament, and no #1 team
should have to waste time playing a #16 seed. 

So what's the point of expanding to 96?

OK, I know, the "point" is making money, but sheesh. 

Why not just cancel the whole season and just play the tournament?
