## Resource

College sports could be changing in a major way. The NCAA has announced plans to expand March Madness from 68 teams to 76 beginning in 2027. At the same time, discussions continue around expanding the College Football Playoff from 12 teams to as many as 24. Are these changes good for the sport, or are they simply another example of greed taking over college athletics? We discuss the future of college sports, the impact of expansion, and whether these formats are making the games better or worse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
