The term March Madness got its origins in Illinois surrounding the annual tournament of high school boys basketball teams, according to the Illinois High School Association -- which sponsored the event.the men's Division I basketball tournament
"That’s not to say we won’t give it it’s appropriate level of analysis and consideration, but there’s a lot of factors to be considered," said Dan Gavitt, the NCAA vice president for basketball.started more than a year ago, when the NCAA assembled a committee to look into the how Division I, the highest level of college sports, operates.
Coaches, whose job security often depends on making the tournament, have typically supported a bigger field. "If there were a practical expansion plan that addressed whatever needs to be addressed — except here’s where I draw the line: It can't expand because my team didn’t get in," Burnett said. There will always be teams that feel slighted if they don't get in.
A-10 Commissioner Bernadette McGlade said she's not concerned about expansion favoring certain conferences. "We already start the regular season in early November where historically some conferences have said it’s too early with all that’s going on with college football and the like," Gavitt said.
