Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany says NCAA tournament bump to 96 teams 'probable'
By AnnArbor.com Staff
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany has been a critic of a proposal to increase the NCAA tournament field to 96 teams. But he ultimately will support that expansion.
"I said from Day 1 that I would support the decision that came out of the (NCAA's) Board of Directors, which ostensibly is linked back to the presidents (in) the conferences," Delany told USA Today. "And if that's where it ends up, I support that."

Why not? More than half of the football teams get a bowl game and people don't whine much about that. Extend it to 96 teams. There's more than 400 that can qualify for the tournament.
