1 day agoMore March Madness: NCAA basketball tournaments reportedly set to expand to 76 teams
NCAA basketball tournaments will expand from 68 to 76 teams, benefiting primarily Power Four conferences.
Athletics directors are scheduled Monday in Charlotte to discuss the details of what will either be a move to a nine-game conference slate with one additional Power Four game required out of conference or an "8+2" model that would provide more flexibility to schools who already have an annual non-conference rival. "The ACC committing to go to 10 Power Four games is a big step forward," Clemson athletics director Graham Neff said. "It's indicative of where college football is and leans into emphasizing the importance of strength of schedule and more Power Four matchups."
