The NCAA has yet to finalize plans for expanding men's and women's basketball tournaments from the current 68 teams. Senior vice president Dan Gavitt noted that while there is talk of increasing the field to 72 or 76 teams, a vote on this matter is not expected soon. Changes in logistics and costs add significant complexity to any potential expansion. Gavitt expressed an optimistic shift regarding expansion, highlighting how transformative factors like NIL and conference realignment could influence college basketball's landscape, stressing the importance of keeping the tournament relevant and competitive.
The NCAA has not finalized expansion plans for the men's and women's basketball tournaments and a decision is unlikely soon.
Expansion, even in a modest level, is complex, more complex than I think than has been recognized and reported, because it is expensive.
