I think 68 is the best scenario if they were going to expand. Certainly way better than moving to 80 or 96.

I suppose this means that there will now be 4 play in games to determine the 16-seeds.

Can't really complain if this is truly how it will go.

Huge, also saw that CBS has the rights till 2024. Along with TBS, TNT, and TRUtv. Awesome. Every game will be shown live.

Per the Indy Star, NCAA will only expand Tournament to 68 teams, starting with the 2011 Tournament

This may be the best news of the day... correction, this is by far the best news of the day.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Great news.

Agreed.

It's much more palatable than, say...96 or more.

I'm all for this move.

Believe it or not, but the NCAA actually got something right for a change...

I bet great1 is pissed. Everyone else in the world should be happy. And it makes it all the better ESPN didnt get the tournament. I bet they are livid over there....I love it.

That will only be the case if all television providers carry these channels in standard and in HD. I have FIOS and I am 99.9% sure that I do not have TRUtv in standard or HD.

I thought TRUtv was something everyone had? Either way I agree with ImissHer, I'm glad ESPN didn't get it.

Me too. ESPN would have put a bunch of games on ESPN360 which most people can't get or they would have charged to watch them online.
