One-and-done players concern new NCAA president – USATODAY.com.

New NCAA president Mark Emmert has a bone to pick with the NBA and it concerns the one-and-done rule for NCAA basketball players.

It seems Emmert wants to add some emphasis to the “student” in student athlete and come up with a plan that would help keep the players in school for at least two years instead of the current one year rule.

 NCAA approves 68-team men’s basketball tourney – Rivals.com

NCAA approves 68-team men’s basketball tourney – College Basketball – Rivals.com.

Well, after all the talk of the tournament possibly expanding to 96 teams the NCAA only added 3 more teams. That takes the total from 65 teams to 68. Still too many if you ask me.

I’d hate to see the NCAA basketball tournament turn into the “every kid gets a participation award” like the college football bowls are.

I didn’t like the one play-in game, so at least adding three more teams solves that. I mean, why should only one team have to work their tales off in a play-in game, be physically and mentally drained and then go out and play the No. 1 seed? Seemed silly to me.
