Michael Wilbon calls on the NCAA to "leave alone what works" as talk of expanding the tournament grows (1:23)Open Extended ReactionsThe men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments will not be expanding beyond 68 teams this season, but future growth remains on the radar, NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt announced Monday. "Expanding the tournament fields is no longer being contemplated for the 2026 men's and women's basketball championships," Gavitt said in a statement. "However, the committees will continue conversations on whether to recommend expanding to 72 or 76 teams in advance of the 2027 championships."
