How To Improve the NCAA Tournament

I know what you’re thinking after reading this title. Impossible. There’s no way to improve the greatest sports spectacle in all the galaxy. It’s too much fun, too exciting, too jam-packed with drama and thrills and chills and buzzer-beaters to ever improve even just a little bit.

But there are those who would disagree. Seth Davis got a few letters from fans addressing some of their gripes with the game. For example: the play-in game. Well, technically the NCAA doesn’t like to call it a play-in game- but you know what we’re talking about. One concerned fan, Casey Hart, pointed out that the game might be improved if the last two at-large teams were the ones who had to play in the game that determines the 64th entrant. As it stands now the play-in teams are the lowest ranking conference winners, usually mid-majors.  Would having big-time schools play in this early game make the Tournament that much better?
