An Expanded NCAA Tournament Is The "New Coke" of Sports

from CzabeCast · host Steve Czaban

The NCAA Tournament is expanding to 76 teams — and nobody asked for it. Steve Czaban and Kevin Sheehan break down why the Field of 76 is a classic case of league executives solving a problem that didn't exist, and what it signals about where college basketball is headed. Plus: reactions to a spicy early NBA playoffs, the death of Washington Football legend Monte Coleman, the latest on LIV Golf's uncertain future, and the viral video corner.Our Sponsors:* Check out Ethos and use my code ethos.com/czabe for a great deal: https://www.ethoslife.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
