The NCAA's college football playoff model is currently being debated, and its college basketball postseason could soon be changed as well. At Big 12 spring meetings this week, NCAA president Charlie Baker revealed that one of his top priorities was to discuss expanding March Madness -- and it could be coming as soon as this year.

The unpopular idea of expanding the NCAA men’s basketball tournament is no longer a distant possibility. College sports administrators appear determined to ram a bigger tournament down fans’ throats as soon as next season.

NCAA men's tournament marked the 14th since the event's most recent expansion from 64 to 68 teams in 2011. So far, reviews seem generally favorable, and two First Four participants (VCU in 2011 and UCLA in 2021) have gone all the way to the Final Four.
