I'd rather have the BB tournament go to 76 than the
football playoff go to 24 (which is inevitable, per the II podcast).
If a few more mid-major BB teams get to play a "tournament" game, then that's a good thing. Unfortunately, it will probably skew towards undeserving major conference teams. At the end of the day, this won't diminish the essence of the tournament from the Sweet Sixteen on.
For football, with honest and impartial decision-makers, 8 (based on historical standards) is more teams than deserve to be there. 12, fine. 16 at the outside. 24 is totally bananas.
