NCAA to expand basketball playoffs to 68 teams and new contract with CBS/Turner broadcasting

Michigan

An expansion from 65 to 68 teams is very moderate and something most people can live with.

Thankfully that insane idea of 96 teams did not happen.

Dick Vitale has to be disappointed that ESPN is left out of the broadcast again (except for play in game if there still is one).

I would guess that the move to 68 is really going to be four "play-in" games, one in each region. That would seem to make the most sense.
