NCAA Tournament Expansion to 76 Teams Benefits Power Conferences Over Mid-Majors
ESPN reports the NCAA is finalizing plans to expand both men's and women's tournaments from 68 to 76 teams for the 2026-27 season. Analysts Joe Lunardi and Charlie Creme predict power conferences will be the primary beneficiaries, as the bubble consistently consists of mediocre power-conference teams rather than mid-major programs. The expansion extends a multiyear trend favoring elite conferences, with at-large bids for teams like Old Dominion and Belmont becoming unlikely without an eligibility floor.
