    Biggest sham. Should have just shorten the tournament or only broadcasted the Final 4. Best sporting event of the year gone because of some bs virus.

    Is ESPN firing all the guys that were making prediction on who gets in and who is out of the brackets? These guys have no jobs now.

    Saw something about how the committee looked at shortening the tournament to 16 teams. Should have just went with that.

    I read a thing on espn that they considered a smaller tournament

    I think it still needed time tho and just no way w the students

    16 team tourney would be cool, but not fair to smaller schools that earned auto bids and not a top 16 team

    Would have been played from a Thursday thru Monday, 5 straight days. Higher seeds would have played Thursday early and gotten a bit more rest, but to make the Final on Monday a team would play 5 consecutive days. Would have been great TV!
