'14 NCAA Pick'em Champ
I've started a private league on Bullysports.com where, if you're any good, you could win a few dollars. It's called March Madness Melee, where you pick the winners of each round of the Tournament. It's free to play, but you have to register. You go to Bullysports.com and click on "Retry". After you register, click "Join an existing league". The name of the league is "Buckeyes in 05' ", and the password is "Zwick". I started this for the guys (or girls) on BuckeyePlanet only, so get your butt over there. I (BigPoop) will be waiting for ya. :cheers:
 

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark says league's coaches are in favor of NCAA Tournament expansion

The Big 12 leader is just the latest college basketball power broker to advocate for a larger NCAA Tournament field​

Count the Big 12 as another advocate for NCAA Tournament expansion. League commissioner Brett Yormark says the conference's 16 coaches are unified in favor of expanding the tournament field.

"I think, in theory, they're for expansion," Yormark said Wednesday afternoon following the Big 12's annual spring meetings. "But what does that number look like? The devil is in the details."

In March, ESPN reported discussions were underway to expand the current 68-team bracket to as many as 80. A 76-team tournament has emerged as a popular model among many of the sport's power brokers.

"I haven't thought about the number but I'm open to 76," Yormark said.

Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti: ‘Positive Feelings’ Around NCAA Tournament Expansion​

Adding regular-season interest in the sport with league tournaments and more games against SEC opponents was also discussed.

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti dished on NCAA tournament expansion and new ways of driving interest in regular-season college basketball during the league’s men’s basketball media day Thursday.

Petitti said there’s “positive feelings towards [NCAA tournament] expansion” throughout his league, joining a chorus of college sports leaders who’ve urged growing the event beyond 68 teams. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has discussed expansion for more than two years, while fellow power-conference commissioners Jim Phillips of the ACC and Brett Yormark of the Big 12 have also floated adding to the field.

The Big Ten’s boss, midway through his second year with the league, was light on specifics for a plan, saying he’d want to see details on seeding and how the first two days of the tournament would look. But Petitti did say Thursday that the league has had “a lot of conversations” with NCAA staff, including president Charlie Baker and SVP for basketball Dan Gavitt.
