68 is better than 96

In the case of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, less is better.
The NCAA added three more teams to the tourney field yesterday. That brings the size to 68, which makes it a more elite invitation than inviting 96.
Postseason should be a reward, not a right. The NHL invites most everyone to the playoffs – same with the NBA. The NCAA kept it under control, which is good. And I'm sure they will get a lot of exposure – and more money – from the new TV package they signed with CBS (good choice) and Turner Broadcasting.
