NCAA to expand March Madness

The NCAA is finalizing plans to expand the men's and women's basketball tournaments to 76 teams starting in 2027.

The proposal would add eight at-large teams to each field and expand the 'First Four' opening round into a 12-game event.

Sources say the move is driven by a desire to increase revenue and provide more opportunities for mid-tier programs.

While some critics worry about diluting the field, supporters argue the expansion reflects the growing depth and popularity of college basketball.
