The NCAA panel recommended admitting 25% of teams to its post-season tournaments to give more players the chance to experience the post-season. There is talk that while this makes sense for revenue sports, it shouldn't be applied to men's basketball since it could lead to loss of interest in devaluing the regular season, where ratings are already bad.
I hope this doesn't happen. The NCAAT is pretty perfect the way it is. Maybe they can meet halfway and expand and 8 teams to get to 76 and have 8 teams play for 16 seeds and 8 teams play for that at-large 12 seed. And maybe then they can go to a Fri/Sun, Sat/Mon 1st 2 rounds so that 4 1st round games can be played on Wednesday and 4 on Thursday. Gives fans and teams an extra day to get to Dayton and Bracket Challenges an extra day so they can include the Wed/Thu games. Currently, those challenges dont include those games and they give you the winner. The problem is that due to that, the casual fan doesn't watch.
