NCAA Tournament 2010 Pt. 2-I Was Very Wrong & Expansion

Well it turns out that I (and countless others) was painfully wrong on my picks. Kentucky will not win the title. All in all, the tourney has been very interesting, but alas, many unfortunate bastards have lost money betting on Kansas and Kentucky.

And speaking of unfortunate, the NCAA is considering expanding the tournament to 96 teams, from the current number of 65. I don't agree with this at all. The only reason I see that the NCAA is doing this is to increase their profit, despite not paying the players who earn them millions. This expanded tournament will force a network to expand coverage as well, giving them and the NCAA more profits. The reasoning sometimes given for not getting rid of the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) and creating a playoff is because it might further infringe on classtime and exams. Expanding the tourney would do just that.
