Summary
NCAA college basketball broadcaster Jay Bilas expressed indifference to the NCAA’s decision to expand the men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments to 76 teams. Bilas stated that no one was clamoring for the expansion, and it might be “a little bit confusing” for fans to fill out their brackets. He also noted that the teams that win the play-in games will be rewarded financially.

The game followed a familiar script.
Bilas, the voice of reason, thinks the NCAA’s decision is a non-starter. Nobody was asking for this. It’s not a game-changer.
Now, we’ll get .500 teams from major conferences making the tournament. Whoop-de-doo.
The play-in games will be inconsequential to most fans, but hey, the teams that win will get some cash.
The real value lies in the atmosphere at the American Century Tournament, where Bilas will be competing. That’s where the magic happens.
