I think using the Masters is not that big of a deal

If you push the tourney back a week, you can end the Masters on Saturday at 6:00. You can then televised the Semis (pending on network - TNT, TBS, CBS) between 6:30-7:00 with the 2nd game on between 9:00-9:30. The championship game is Monday, so that is a mute point. The women's could do the same depending on Fri-Sun, or Sun-Tue for their Final Four. Unless the Masters wants to be a stand-alone thing over the weekend minus early MLB games and finalizing play-offs for NBA/NHL.

I agree pushing the Masters back is the answer, but it could effect Majors

Stech • 08/07/25 01:22 PM ET
What does sooner.......
2hhoop3 • 08/07/25 01:28 PM ET
Not sure as I said, but I think before 2030, do you think never expand, or

Ummm, that is only an issue with CBS. Why in the world doesn't

They need to push the Masters back, I agree, but it likely impacts Majors
Stech • 08/06/25 07:06 PM ET

Real reason for expansion is more TV money for the NCAA, but they cloak it
manassashoo • 08/05/25 02:41 PM ET
Yep. They want to keep putting in 75% of the P2 teams

Agreed it’s about $$, I think they are trying to keep funding 4 Olympic

I'm surprised the NCAA isn't considering moving the start of basketball
VTHokie2000 • 08/05/25 10:10 AM ET
I’m sure they are looking at that too, but NFL in February now plays a part
Stech • 08/05/25 12:28 PM ET
Or football for that matter. **
Big12 guy • 08/05/25 12:20 PM ET
As I have noted in a prior post, football teams can't start Fall Practice
VTHokie2000 • 08/05/25 12:33 PM ET
Well, then let the players that are getting paid start early. **
Big12 guy • 08/05/25 12:41 PM ET
That can only happen when the schools decide that DI-FBS football should
VTHokie2000 • 08/05/25 12:48 PM ET
Why can't they just alter the current FBS set up
