Welcome back inside the Inarbor studios of the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com. So we'll keep this college basketball conversation going for a couple more minutes here. We've had a lot of conversation the last couple of days and we'll talk to John Eubacon about this in the 9 o'clock hour as well about the expansion to 76 for March Madness. And we've made all, we've talked about how it's nobody wants it except for guys like Seth Greenberg. It's the

It's essentially

It's a participation check for the coaches that never make March Madness or are right on the bubble area and don't want to be living on the bubble. And he obviously lived in the bubble and was the wrong side of it most of the time as a coach because he, I believe, made the March Maddenance one time in the last 17 years

as head coach. And so, of course, guys like that would be all about it because they want more opportunities to get into March Madness. They want to expand it because they want their brethren to get more checks. I made the tournament this year. You were the last team in in a 76 team field. What does that really mean? At least that's how we're going to look at it for many years after it happens.

We're going to look at that context.

But the best argument 76 team field. What does that really mean? At least that's how we're going to look at it for many years after it happens.

We're going to look at that context.

But the best arguments for why the expansion is downright dumb actually have nothing to do

with bubbles or undeserving teams getting into the expanded field.

We've made all those arguments.

We've had all those conversations.

The losing interest in the bubble and just teams that are getting in that aren't that aren't deserving them, everybody knowing it. And it's going to change the narrative and the conversations at the, the, around the last month of the college basketball season, around, man, if this team just wins a couple of games, they're going to get on the right side of the bubble, or they go to their conference tournament, they've got to win a game or two, or they're going to be on the wrong side of the bubble. All those teams that we were saying that about last year, they're all in, in an expanded field. All of them. Everybody we had that conversation about, because we had it about Auburn and Oklahoma and Indiana and Virginia Tech, they're all in. They all would have gotten in.

But the best arguments for why the expansion is downright dumb have nothing to do with any of that.

The best argument against it isn't really actually about most of us.

Because most of us, those of you listening, me talking, we love college basketball.

We're watching.

We're failing out brackets. We're watching every game. We're breaking it down. We're watching. We're failing out brackets.

We're watching every game.

We're breaking it down.

We're watching all the analysis.

We're reading as much of it.

We're consuming as much college basketball stuff as we possibly can.
