NCAA President Charlie Baker says logistics (Masters) delays 🏀 expansion.
Stech • 08/05/25 07:57 AM ET
I think using the Masters is not that big of a deal

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

Trying to push the Masters back........

I understand why you feel that way, but it’s inching in the right direction
Stech • 08/06/25 07:11 PM ET
I read one below.......

The Masters is huge, but I think it will be huge a week or two later, but

Broadcasters are about......
2hhoop3 • 08/06/25 09:21 PM ET
I’m surprised they were even talking about the possibility for this year so
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

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

VTHokie2000 • 08/05/25 12:48 PM ET

Big12 guy • 08/05/25 01:13 PM ET
If we assume the current structure is in place, then the answer is no. The
