March Madness to 90 Teams?

NCAA Transformation Committee Recommends Expanding March Madness Fields​


Still have to vote on it.


NCAA postseason championships, including the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, would be expanded under recommendations made by the NCAA transformation committee.

After nearly a year’s worth of meetings, the transformation committee, charged with reshaping archaic NCAA policies, produced a 40-page final report that was released Tuesday to selected media members. The report will go to the Division I board of directors for consideration at the 2023 NCAA convention in San Antonio next week.

Among the many recommendations is incorporating more teams in NCAA postseason championships. The NCAA should consider expanding championship brackets to accommodate access for 25% of participating teams in the sport, the committee’s report The NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournament encompasses 68 teams, or about 19% of the sport’s 350-some active members. The tournaments would have to expand by about 20 teams—incorporating around 90 total teams—to reach the 25% mark.

$25K gift to KTR for football honoring Bob Mulcahy

Another quick update. We have received an anonymous $25k gift for football as part of the Million Dollar Match in honor of former RU AD Bob Mulcahy.

The donor is not directly affiliated with Rutgers but was close with Bob and is hoping his gift will encourage others to get involved to honor Bob's work at Rutgers.

Thanks, Jon

It was time for Bobby to move on. He found the motorcycle riding was shabby in Vegas after 3 weeks there.

Where are the Jim Harbaugh haters? Very quiet the last 2 years.

Sure they could lose to Purdue in the Big Ten Championship. I doubt that. However, they beat Ohio State 2 years in a row and today at OSU. He made Stanford a winner. Then SF 49ers then Michigan. The clowns that said he sucks as a head coach are lacking in football knowledge. All those bashing Harbaugh threads are still out there. Instead of digging them up get out in front and admit you were wrong.

Tommy DeVito Denied by NCAA, Sitkowski to Coach in 2023

Did not see either posted.
Surprising move by Artur after DeVito was denied another year of eligibility. These things don't just happen to RU players.

Good for Artur, and a good move by him. Interesting comments by him on the Illinois program:

Sitkowski could have pushed for a chance to become a starter or at least serve another season as the top backup, but that meant he would have had to wait on his dream.

“It’s extremely hard. I think when spring ball rolls around next year it’s going to be rough, but I have a dream and a goal I want to accomplish," Sitkowski said. "I want to go chase that dream and pursue it. …I think it’s the people we have in the organization from a staff. I really believe the people in this organization are really special and I want to learn from them as much as I can and I want to be around them as much as I can from the position coaches to the (graduate assistants) to the (quality control coaches) to everybody. I just want to learn. I want to get into that room, and I want to learn from them. I just feel like it’s that time.”
