Description
Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the recent news that the NCAA Tournament will likely expand to include 76 teams going forward for what is considered an attempt to provide more access to the crown jewel of the NCAA - March Madness.
Barnes and Ashley highlight the money aspect of the move, the dilution of the product and discuss the possible reasoning for this expansion beyond the obvious money grab from the NCAA in an effort to pay off the monies owed under the House Settlement that came down in 2025.
