Each year deserving teams, "bubble" teams, don't make the NCAA tournament because there aren't enough available spots after all the automatic bids are filled. There are those who want to get rid of automatic bids. I haven't because I like all the underdogs it brings into the tournament.
Coach Bob Knight has a proposal that keeps underdogs and gets rid of automatic bids both: expand the tournament from 64 to 128 teams. He also would get rid of conference tournaments. This would add only one game, after which we're back down to 64. I love this idea! With the top 128 teams in the tournament, I'd expect even more underdogs to have a shot at it. I hope this gets serious consideration.
