SEC's Greg Sankey is in favor of 25% of all teams qualifying for postseason playoffs in all sports. Would be especially significant for basketball and baseball expanding their postseasons. The expectation is this will be voted on in January.
"The committee is putting an idea on the table that all Division I sports could allow as much as 25% of a sport’s teams to be able to qualify for said sport’s NCAA bracket,” Norlander wrote. “In layman’s terms — and at its extreme — this would mean college basketball’s 363-school population could one day, theoretically, allow for as many as 90 teams in March Madness.”
"The committee is focused on things like bracket expansion, taking a recommendation all sports go to 25% of their current membership, but I'm more worried at the moment about membership requirements to know if I'll ever have certain members in my conference."
Said another source of trying to govern all D-I sports under the same set of rules: "We are too large."
