NCAA president Charlie Baker is hinting at possible changes to March Madness by 2026, suggesting the tournament could expand beyond its current format. He’s had "good conversations" about it, signaling momentum for a bigger, potentially more chaotic (or exciting, depending on who you ask) bracket. Fans might soon see more teams, more games, and more madness—but nothing’s set in stone yet.
Editor’s Note: March Madness is already one of the most thrilling events in sports, and expanding it could mean more underdog stories, bigger TV deals, and fresh drama. But it also raises questions: Will dilution hurt the magic? Will players bear the brunt of more games? For now, Baker’s optimism suggests change is coming—and it’ll spark debates from die-hards to casual fans alike.
