I'm just OK at math, so someone help me out here, please: how many more teams would the NCAAT have to add to maintain a symmetric grid/bracket? Would they just add more "play-in-games"? Would they consider having a single "bye" for certain seeds?
Maybe this ties-in, too, to an eventual riddance of the NIT. Take the 32 NIT teams selected and merge them into a 96 team NCAAT (I think the math works with that number for a single-elimination tournament), with perhaps a few teams/seeds getting a single round bye
And in agreement with Jay Bilas, I am going to discuss this only today, and then move on ...
