NCAA Tourney expanding... but only to 68!?

I guess the bottom line is if they are just going to slowly add "play in games" why not just go all out with the 96 now and let us get used to it?

Obviously, they are listening to the "purists" who feel like 64-65 teams is some kind of perfection. But, in the end, I think that the green stuff ($) will win out and the tourney will just keep expanding. I'm all for more mid-majors making the tourney and the potential for more Cinderella stories, but, along with that there will likely be a few more blowouts too now and then. I'd rather expand it to 96 teams than have to deal with additional trivial tourneys that have no money for broadcasting and could go defunct at anytime. I'm all for potential Cinderella's. Watching Butler this year was great.
