[Kace-1]

Instead of a regular season?

Dumb

Dumb, but better than nothing...

How does it help though? They can't bubble 350 teams

Theoretically, you could across different parts of the country.

There'd be bubbles for each round, so...

I don't see why the ACC would be pushing that idea when they've already decided they're gonna play football.

The bottom line is that everybody is going to do everything in their power for the tourney to happen in some form, because they can't lose that revenue for 2 years in a row.

Yep, they need to figure something out

That's dumb for real

I'd take half a loaf at this point

Covid robbed me of one of my oldest spring traditions: leaving work early on a Thursday to go to a bar and order wings and a pitcher

 

[Sportsguy9695]

I’ll take anything at this point

 

[Myles]

I'd prefer it to a normal season of college basketball. I don't watch much college basketball till the tourney anyway. This would be a positive for me.

I believe they are talking about teams playing only a Conf Schedule during the regular season
and then everybody going to the NCAA's.

In reality, that would only add one week to the tournament. (Based on 347 teams)

We have 4 play-in games now.

In a 347 team set-up...You could have 182 teams in a play-in game and the other 165 getting a bye.

After the 91 play-in games are played...91 advance to the 165 to form 256 total remaining.

T&F week 1... Round of 256

S&S week 1...round of 128

The following week we'd be down to 64 and proceed from there.

Seriously. The least this stupid fucking disease could of done is held off for like 3 more goddamn weeks.

Playing an entire college basketball season, suffering through Weakling Wednesday of conference tournies to wake up on Thursday to the season being over was a kick to the balls I hope to never experience again

I set my alarm for tBIG tourney that day.

Still pissed.

 

[broncosmitty]

This doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Ftr

 

[lilchi721]

Why stop there lets expand it to include 4,096 teams

AKA the best.

Everything great and fun is dumb but awesome.

I like it because the tourney is my favorite sports time of the year. Being bigger is better. More upsets, more matchups and more do or die games.

 

[SteelersPride]

It’s kinda silly. But screw it all of 2020 is. Let’s end up with like Akron as ncaa champs
