Are There Too Many NCAA Teams in Tournament?

With March Madness rapidly approaching, fans will surely be filling out their brackets and throwing out their predictions. With 68 teams competing for college basketball's richest prize -- the NCAA's National Championship -- there is a sure sign of unpredictability. Could a team like VCU shock the world? Could an old favorite like Duke return to the promise land?

Here's a question we'll pose to all of you: Are there too many teams in the NCAA Tournament? College basketball fans love to watch games, but too much of a good thing could be a bad thing with over-saturation. Some fans can't get enough though. Others may look at it like ice cream. You can love ice cream cones, but after 16, you will probably have gotten sick of it halfway through.

What drives the NCAA Tournament isn't always competition, but money. The more teams there are, the more games are broadcast, meaning more money for colleges, the NCAA, and television networks. North Carolina Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham even went as far as to suggest the NCAA Tournament expand 128 teams. Too many NCAA tournament teams or not enough? Let us know!

    here is the problem with that, the conference tournaments which are done only for money
    have produced a number of schools who should not be in the ncaa's.
    maybe it is time to expand the field to 128. than i think the championship would be worth even more. just a thought.

    68 is enough, they dont need to add anymore or it will hurt the NIT tournament.

    As if anything matters but the Big East games...smile.At least they(liberals) have not infiltrated this venue yet with their "There are no losers" ridiculousness.I'm keeping an eye on Notre Dame-even without Abromaitis.

    Hell nah. You don't watch *all* of them, and if your alma mater were one of the schools to get removed to shorten the lineup, you'd certainly be angry. It is called March Madness. And if March Madness helps to raise the funds of your favorite team, wouldn't you be glad to watch?
    But I digress. Let's go KU! ROCK CHALK!

    68 is plenty. It's a great tournament and one of the best sporting events of the year. If it works don't try and fix it. uconn vcu rams

    They can have as many teams as they want. I don't see the problem. More teams, more games, more show.

    I don't think so, after all this is America where just about everyone roots for an underdog. Although expanding it to 128 teams does sound a bit ridiculous.

    ..there should be just two teams to start with; then there only has to be one game to decide a champion..

    If you don't want to watch all of the games just wait until the later games.
