Episode Rocco Miller + March Madness EXPANSION: A Cash Grab or More Access?
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.
