NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Division I Board of Directors on Thursday approved the plan to expand the men's basketball tournament field to 68 teams.

"Expanding to 68 teams gave us an opportunity to involve more teams in the championship, and in doing that, we were able to enhance the experience of the opening--round game," said board chair James Barker, president at Clemson. "Expansion enables us to give more exposure to the universities and provide more opportunities for student-athletes."

The NCAA Tournament expanded to 65 teams in 2001 and had expanded to 64 in 1985. The latest change will add three opening-round games to the schedule, beginning with next year's event.

The recommendation for expansion was made by the Division I men's basketball committee last week when the NCAA announced its new television agreement.

There was no discussion of expanding the tourney beyond 68 teams.
