Not shocked, but still disgusted by the shamelessness. They have just taken a huge dump on the regular season all in the name of money.

The NCAA is close to expanding the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments from 68 to 76 teams, possibly starting as soon as next season. The change would add eight more at-large teams and expand the early “First Four” into a larger set of play-in games with 24 teams competing before the main bracket begins. The 64-team bracket would still start on Thursday, but more teams would have to play their way in earlier. Supposedly, this is not about money, it's about giving more teams access to the tournament. Final approval is still needed, but this is a formality.
