i could see them adding about 4 spots or so...maybe have the bottom 2 seeds in each bracket in play in games...gives a better way to put these teams in that win these small conf that no one has ever heard of...
you could maybe have 72 teams, with the 15,16,17, 18 seeds in the 4 brackets play in 15 vs 18, 16 vs 17 for final 2 spots in each bracket....would leave more spots for the bigger conf at large teams....

I say just add like 4 more play in games for these bubble teams(8) to playoff against one another to get into the field of 64..teams that win their conf. tourney shouldn't be playing this Tues. game they should be in the 64...it's the barely made it squads that should have to deal with playing Tues and then again on Fri. So you could have like Miss. St. playing against Illinois.
You are, of course, 100% correct...
I really liked what Jay Bilas had to say on Selection Sunday when he said he was "tired of all the hand wringing over the last couple of spots. It wasn't like those teams were going to win the National Championship anyway"...
He was/is 100% correct. Expanding to 96 will NOT make the "why did we left out" whiners go away. It will make them look more stupid...but it won't make them go away...
