While much of the attention in college athletics is on expanding the College Football Playoff, there is an increasing drumbeat around the men’s NCAA tournament as well. Some would like to see a fairly substantial increase in the number of teams, which has stood at 68 for the men’s tournament since 2011. But new Missouri men’s basketball coach Dennis Gates wants to see a very significant expansion. 

“I would like to see it double, to be honest with you,” he said at Wednesday’s SEC basketball tip-off event, per Kyle Tucker of The Athletic. “There are some great coaches left out of the tournament and some great players we don’t get to see.”

Every year sees a few teams get left by the wayside that may have otherwise made some noise come NCAA tournament time, but doubling to field to over 130 teams would be a pretty wild step forward. While it would certainly add opportunities for many players and coaches—and, of course, game inventory for the networks that carry the games—there is plenty of concern that adding a bunch of teams like this will just serve to water down the quality of the event, especially in the early rounds.
