The ACC commissioner wants to expand the NCAA Tournament. No thanks, eamonnbrennan writes.
Why, hello there, college basketball fans! How are you today? Did you enjoy the offseason? No? Me neither. But good news: It’s mid-October now. As it ever does, the start of the next college basketball season has sneaked right up on us, to the point where the college basketball media days — a kind of unofficial start to the season, cultural if not technical — are already in full swing, which you probably didn’t even realize.

But there is also something uniquely enjoyable about these last few weeks before tip-off, about the uncertainty and optimism of all that prospective hoop, about reveling in nothing more than the idea of a full college basketball season yet to come.

Nothing can harsh this buzz.“The time is now,” Phillips, a member of the NCAA Division I Transformation Committee, said during the ACC’s annual preseason basketball event.
