NCAAs March Madness Expansion: More Teams, More Games, and Big Bucks

The NCAA is expanding March Madness, with both mens and womens tournaments growing to seventy-six teams each, starting in 2027. This means twelve extra games in the first week, with twenty-four teams battling it out in the March Madness Opening Round. The format also changes, with about twelve winners sliding straight into the classic sixty-four-team bracket. The expansion is funded by new booze sponsors and additional ad space on CBS and TNT, with over one hundred thirty-one million dollars going to qualifying schools. This sets the stage for bigger crowds, wilder upsets, and non-stop hoops action.
