Changes I would make to March Madness

Time for a few changes that I would make for March Madness.
That is not counting firing Gus Johnson that is.....
These aren't all huge moves,but moves that would make it more enjoyable for me.


1) Since the move to 68 teams in set in stone,I would rather see the last eight at large teams play in those four added games.
This gives the small conference winners one shot at the big boys instead of two of them going home in a game few watch...

2) Want upsets,you say?
Instead of the final four at large teams playing for the right to be 12 seeds and play a 5,how about those teams are the 15 or 16?
No doubt in my mind that sooner or later,one of those would drop a top seed and they get the deserved tougher road to hoe....

3) Eliminate any commentator from whining about "the top 64 teams" not being in the tournament.
The small schools are what makes the tournament great,there should be a few more,not whining about the 7th place team in the ACC not getting in....

4) I know this year was extreme,but cap the conference bids at six.
Usually few even get to six,but as good as the Big East seemed to be,did we really need eleven teams?
I'll even give this break,you can have seven-IF one of them is in the play-in round of games....

5) Since the NCAA is constantly tweaking the names of the regionals,scrap them all together,put one in each area of the country,but name them after great players or coaches.
An example could be the West could be the John Wooden bracket,the South Dean Smith etc....

6) Can we please get rid of the NAPA guy singing about "NNNAPA know how"?!
I counted nine times seeing this commercial in the first game and a half alone that I watched yesterday!
Wasn't last year enough?


7) Oh,Gus Johnson has BOTH Ohio State and Xavier's games today?
Fire Gus Johnson!!!!
