There are like 350 teams in men's division 1 basketball. While I would love the chaos of it all, a tournament with 350 teams is just ridiculous.

Can you imagine how big the bracket would be? :-)

Seriously, it's a bad idea that only works in a video game.

Sir, you have never been more wrong. Like, close the TN borders to you wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 07:56 11
- Also, we should close the TN borders but to keep you people from getting out. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 08:04 4
  - (Accurate) words can hurt, Krusty. -- nm - David Sep 10, 08:05 3
    - Says the man that refuses to visit my state because... -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 08:06 2
      - To be fair, I refuse to visit most states. -- nm - David Sep 10, 08:18
      - ...we will catch diseases from the rats, homeless and crackwhores. Diseases like - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:16
- I have never been more right. I love college basketball and this would be terrible. College teams need months of playing together to get good. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 10, 08:01 5
  - From what I’ve seen, people watch basketball in the fall when it’s Kentucky playing terrible teams. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:04 4
    - They don't show Kentucky playing Sacramento State for a reason. No one cares. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 08:06 3
      - Until Sac State beats Kentucky and it’s awesome! - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:14 2
        
        There's a HUGE difference between the low seeds in the NCAA tournament vs. the 287th ranked team in this massive tourney. You know that. - Krusty Sep 10, 08:19 1
        
        *basketball is back* - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:22
The 2018-19 FA Cup had 736 teams. -- nm - Sam SeaBaron Sep 10, 07:48 10
- Well yeah, but there's different entry points. They don't stick Chelsea up against West North Famingshire Tuesday FC. -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 07:56 5
  - My guess, you’d basically rank them on RPI and the lowest guys play first rounders until you can get to 256 schools and then just 8 rounds to a champ -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:03 3
    - How do you rank based on RPI when you haven't had a season of games? -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 08:04 2
      - It’s schools 150 and lower...does it matter? - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:07 1
        
        College ball is great when they've had time to play and become a team. Basing rankings on the previous year doesn't work when there are so many - Krusty Sep 10, 08:13
  - That's what I was trying to suggest yesterday when I speculated it would favor the larger schools. - Sam SeaBaron Sep 10, 07:59
- Good for them. I get that they're just trying to make things work during very trying times and find a way to make some money. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 10, 07:54 2
  - 2019 was trying times? -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 10, 07:55 1
    - *sigh* I'm talking about the NCAA and sports. Keep up -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 07:57
- And the 2019-2020 just one less. (No idea why the previous version came up first. Be better, Google!) -- nm - Sam SeaBaron Sep 10, 07:49
The first 2 days of the tournament with almost 90 games each might actually end David. -- nm - John Murphy, Awesome Sep 10, 07:46 4
- The day before it started would need to be a national holiday so people could fill-out their brackets. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 10, 07:53
- Ha! -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 07:47
- I'm willing to take on this challenge. - David Sep 10, 07:47 1
  - Cue the end scene of 2001 -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 07:58
I’d actually be bummed to have the futile four ended on a technicality. -- nm - Dano Sep 10, 07:46 1
- It certainly wouldn't count as if it was a normal season and a normal tournament. Those teams would still have their "record" in tact. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 07:50
I too will would love the chaos. Please make it happen. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 10, 07:34
...ly awesome!!! -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 10, 07:33 2
