The NCAA is still deliberating expanding March Madness on both the men's and women's sides to 76 teams for next season a much-expected development that's been in the works for years. The NCAA released a brief statement Tuesday in the wake of an ESPN report that cited unnamed sources saying a decision to add eight teams to the bracket is a mere formality that's expected in May. "Expanding the basketball tournaments would require approval from multiple NCAA committees, including the mens and womens basketball committees, and no final recommendations or decisions have been made at this time," the statement said. Earlier this month at the Final Four, NCAA President Charlie Baker said the committees would, in fact, return to discussing the expansion once this year's tournament was over. The tournaments have been at 68 teams since 2011, when four play-in games were added to the beginning of the first week of play. The new format would add eight more at-large teams and take eight more teams out of the main bracket for play-in games. The expansion isn't expected to generate a lot more income because it will only add games early in the first week. The current TV deal runs through 2032 and could be tweaked slightly. Regardless of finances, the expansion would give power conferences more chances to place teams in the bracket a growing concern as those conferences seek more power and control over college sports in the era of name, image and likeness compensation and the transfer portal.

Here's a glimpse at what the 2026 NCAA Tournament might have looked like with a 76-team format

Trey Yesavage spun 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball in a win over the Boston Red Sox on April 28. (Richard Lautens/Toronto Star via Getty Images)Richard Lautens via Getty ImagesToronto Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage finally made the first start of whats technically his rookie season on Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox.The 22-year-old righty didnt collect double-digit strikeouts like he did during his last start, a seven-inning masterpiece against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the 2025 World Series, but he did set forth what could be an AL Rookie of the Year campaign.After beginning the season on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement, Yesavage made his long-awaited return to the mound in a 3-0 victory over the Red Sox (12-18). He picked up the win, giving the Blue Jays (13-16) 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball. He needed 74 pitches to reach that point, logging three punch-outs along the way. Trey Yesavage receives a standing ovation after a scoreless outing in his 2026 debut pic.twitter.com/u9AbJ3xh5T MLB (@MLB) April 29, 2026Yesavage conceded four hits, only one of the extra-base variety, and didnt issue a walk. He finished strong, stringing together a 1-2-3 inning in the fifth and then striking out Willson Contreras in the sixth before Toronto turned to its bullpen.By that point, it already had all three of its runs, courtesy of RBI singles from Kazuma Okamoto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.When Blue Jays manager John Schneider took the ball from Yesavage, the Pottstown, Pennsylvania, native received a standing ovation from appreciative fans who graciously welcomed him back.It was awesome, Yesavage said of the reception he got from Blue Jays faithful at the beginning and end of his start, via 6ix Inning Stretch Podcasts Lindsay Dunn.These fans are great, and Im very blessed to play in front of them.They wont ever forget the shot in the arm he gave their teams rotation last season. Yesavage, a 2024 first-round pick of the Blue Jays, ascended through the ranks, going from Single-A to the big leagues just in time for Torontos World Series push.He scattered 14 innings across three regular-season starts, all wins, and then helped the Blue Jays win their first AL pennant in 32 years. In the process, he piled up 27 2/3 innings, making five postseason starts and three total appearances in the World Series.Yesavage could be the future of the Blue Jays. Hes also the present, and he gifted Toronto with an encouraging first start of the season Tuesday night against the Red Sox.
