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.
