Should the NCAA basketball tournament be expanded?

If so, how many teams should be added? How would the brackets be modified?

1. maybe adding 3 or 4 play-in games would be ok other than that, no, the bball season lasts too long already 128 teams wouldn't fit on a bracket page anyway
2. I don't think it should be expanded. The system is perfect with how it is now. They worked a long time to get it the way it is now, why mess it up leave it the perfect way that it is. But.. if you insist on changing it up a bit for all of the 16 seeds you could do play in games. That might make it a little more interesting.
3. No way. 64 is enough. That's why they have the NIT. Although I love watching the CAL Bears they're always on the bubble. That just means that they shoul'dve played better in those 2-3 games that they should've won. No on expansion. It takes too long just to finish the 64.
4. Nope, The tournament is not broke so don't fix it.
5. No way, 64 is plenty. Actually, it may even be a bit too much if you ask me. But definitely, there are no more teams needed.
6. yes
7. i think so
8. No
9. Only by adding seven more play-in games and having the winners play the first or second seeds in each region. Here's the setup: *these are hypothetical sites Tuesday Game 1- Dayton 7pm ESPN Game 2- Charlotte* TBD 7pm ESPN2 Game 3- Portland* TBD 9:30pm ESPN Game 4- San Jose* TBD 9:30pm ESPN2 Wednesday Game 5- Dayton 7pm ESPN2 Game 6- Charlotte* 7pm ESPN Game 7- Portland* 9:30pm ESPN2 Game 8- San Jose* 9:30pm ESPN Thursday Games 1-4 winners would play either a 1 or 2 seed in regionals playing today Friday Games 5-8 winners would play either a 1 or 2 seed in regionals playing today
