Episode description as stored

The NCAA is on the precipice of expanding the tournament to 76 teams. Is this a win for "access," or a defeatist move that waters down the greatest event in sports?. Richmond and Darren are joined by bracketologist Rocco Miller (Bracketeer.org/Field of 68) to peel back the curtain on the business and basketball implications of the 76-team proposal. In This Episode: The 76-Team Math: Why automatic qualifiers and mid-majors might be the biggest losers in the new format. The Commissioner’s Statement: Breaking down Dr. Michael Cross’s controversial support for expansion. Financial Units: How the "slices of the pie" change when you add more games. The Transfer Portal Chaos: Why the current April 7th opening is "gutting" rosters and why we need a week of breathing room. Presented by Ingles Markets
