Heroic work by @sethdavishoops.bsky.social on a social media site I no longer visit. Possibly there's a better anti-expansion argument than the ones he swatted down but they formed a robust sample. Expansion is long past due.
There's three of us now. This is a groundswell.

What are the arguments in favor of expansion?
Because the only ones I've heard from Seth are that there's room for more games on Tues/Wed...
The extra slots are mostly going to reward mediocre power conference teams who probably don't deserve to be in, and it would be purely a money grab.
I think they highest they could go without it being a detriment to the tournament is 72.
We can't go to the point where there are a bunch of tournament games on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon.
To me, those aren't convincing arguments that we need to add teams. They don't convince me that adding more teams makes the tournament better, or that they give us a better process for determining the champion.
