The NCAA Tournament is called March Madness for a reason, but the latest proposal for the upcoming 2020-21 season will guarantee unprecedented postseason chaos this year.
According to numerous national analysts – Jon Rothstein, Jeff Goodman, and Pat Forde are among those to report the news – the ACC is proposing that every Division I team in college basketball make the NCAA Tournament this year.
“The ACC has already had discussions with Dan Gavitt and the NCAA regarding an NCAA Tournament in 2021 featuring every Division 1 team in college basketball,” Rothstein reported. “All ACC programs agreed earlier today to have every single Division 1 team in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Several are expected to release official statements later today. This is being done to “celebrate” college basketball.”
“The ACC coaches will propose an all-inclusive NCAA tournament,” Goodman added. “The coaches just finished the call and voted unanimously on this. … This idea of EVERY team being included in the NCAA tournament this year is spearheaded by Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski. The proposal would mean that every single team in the D-1 ranks would be included in the NCAA tournament.”

Yeah, and give everyone on that 0-22 team that will play "special recognition" trophies too.
Bleh.

In a way, every team is in the NCAA tournament. Just include all conference tournaments as part of the NCAA tournament.
This is just a stupid idea. Kind of fitting it comes from UNC (sorry, Mel). ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

PC ... it says coach k (dook) is spearheading it not Coach Williams.
I have no idea if it is a good idea or not (not sure how it would work) but if someone doesn't want to join in they can always opt out (isn't that the new phrase everone is using these days ???). ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Let's see, we're in the middle of Covid 19 and are supposed to be staying away from large groups? Let me think now, how could this work?
I guess if we get thru a regular schedule, which some conferences don't have right now, I guess you could divide your conference in half and have the top teams host the bottom teams in the first round, with the top ranked winners hosting the lower ranked winners until you have one team left who hasn't lost. Then you take the winners of each conference to play ????. Who knows?? Are there still any independents??? Duhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Tell K to figure it out. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Coach K proposed this? If so it will work like this. All conferences will have a tournament and the winners will advance to a bubble type atmosphere, Duke will be the only team to get a bye because, well, they are Duke.
These teams will play each other to determine who will play Duke in the National Championship game to be played at Cameron Stadium. Covid guidelines will be waived for this game and Ratface expects the place to be packed.
Oh, by the way, Duke’s athletic director will determine who the referees will be to ensure fairness.

My bad, Mel. I completely misread that. Must be my Kentucky education.
