The NCAA is considering expanding...

...its basketball tournament to 96 teams. That would mean about 1 out of every 4 teams in Division I would make the playoffs.

The Association derives about 90% of its revenue from the tournament. Why not just cut to the chase and include everyone and begin the tournament in October? It could be double-elimination, call it Advent Madness and be done with it all by Christmas. That way, the worst teams would only lose two games all year and everyone could be back in class for the start of the second semester.
