16, where it doesn’t go to the NCAA and is paid to the schools and conferences, that’s a money changer. I heard Former ESPN President John Skipper and Former Fox Sports CEO Bob Thompson say college basketball is way underrated for up coming money. They both run influential consulting firms and hired a lot of the people in charge of both ESPN and Fox Sports. I would not underrate their opinion on where this is going for money on basketball. PS This is about money, the other sports and academics is a smoke screen, got to go with Pylons on this one. Because if that mattered most, Stanford would dwarf both of those schools and they aren’t even mentioned, and the B1G took Oregon and Washington over them. Actions speak louder than words. ** Edited by Stech at 2/26/2026, 12:34:37 PM

Yep. I'd rather it go to 48. I also wouldn't mind if they'd limit bids -- reestuart Feb 25, 2026 at 10:43 AM ET

I don’t want an expansion but I am not a decision maker. ** -- RandomAsianGuy Feb 24, 2026 at 06:02 PM ET

Yeah. I didn't like when they went to 68. 64 was perfect. -- Maroon Baboon Feb 25, 2026 at 09:13 AM ET
