They're going to pay for Olympic sports by watering down the NCAA Tournament. We no longer do solutions in America. We just reach into the next man's pocket.

@SatDownSouth They don’t care about the fans (or, players).

Leave it to the NCAA to make a decision that approximately 100% of people are strongly against.

Nobody hates college sports more than the people who run college sports

Everyone knew ncaa tournament expansion to 76 was inevitable. Almost nobody wants it. Those trying to argue its merits are gaslighting you. I’ve written it many times — it’s a lousy development that contributes to the erosion of what makes college sports great.

Sources: The NCAA has initiated the final steps to expand the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments to 76 teams. The expansion is on track to be formalized in the upcoming weeks, with mid-May as the target. The 76-team tournaments begin next year. espn.com/mens-college-b…

Tennessee currently holds the No. 1 overall recruiting class in College Basketball 🍊 The #Vols rank No. 1 overall, No. 12 in high school, and No. 4 in the transfer portal rankings per 247Sports. F Ralph Scott - 4⭐️ HS F Manny Green - 4 ⭐️ HS G Marquis Clark - 3 ⭐️ HS G Tyler Lundblade - 4⭐️ Transfer G Dai Dai Ames - 4⭐️ Transfer C Miles Rubin - 4 ⭐️ Transfer G Jalen Haralson - 4⭐️ Transfer F Christopher Washington Jr. - 4⭐️ HS G Terrence Hill Jr. - 4⭐️ Transfer Rick Barnes has added five .92 grade or higher players in the portal, and holds four commits out of high school. The 2026-27 Vols could be special.

BREAKING: Terrence Hill Jr. has committed to Tennessee 🍊 The standout guard from VCU averaged 15.0 PPG last season. Hill dropped 34 POINTS vs. UNC in the 1st round, shooting 7-10 from 3 including the game-winning shot in OT. HUGE.

@ryanschumpert00 He’s a great kid…wish him the best of luck!

Ethan Burg is leaving the Tennessee basketball program and returning to Israel to continue his career. Burg: "It has been an honor to play in front of this incredible fan base and represent the University of Tennessee." rockytopinsider.com/2026/04/17/eth…

Tony White, @Vol_Hoops Hall of Famer and one of the best to play at Tennessee, said it best about the exodus of transfers from the program. “These cats want to get a million dollars averaging 4 to 6 points. Back in the 80s, I could’ve gotten 8 million averaging 24 a game.” #Wiz

The NCAA is expected to finalize an expansion of the men’s and women’s tournaments to 76 teams soon after the completion of this year’s March Madness tournament, per Yahoo Sports' @RossDellenger. Barring something unforeseen, “it will happen,” a high-placed source told Dellenger. The proposal would add eight games to the First Four, with 24 teams playing in an opening round before advancing into the second round.

@barstoolsports What a Whiner.

WE GOT DAWN VS GENO HANDSHAKE WARS

@ryanschumpert00 What a great teammate!

Rick Barnes on Ethan Burg: "I’ll tell you a great story with Ethan. He was really struggling, and I actually asked him one day, I said, are you about ready to quit? Because he was down, about as low as you could be. He said to me, Coach, I will never, ever quit on these guys. He said, this is the first real team I’ve ever been a part of. He says if I never play another minute, I will never quit on these guys. I promise you. He said I love them. There’s a brotherhood with us. I would never quit on them. And he hasn’t. The last couple games, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. He has maturity, and he went through a tough time. You’ve got to realize, his family has been in and out of bunkers in Tel Aviv for months now. It’s been tough on him, but he’s handled it really, really well. That was one of the greatest things that any player’s ever said to me. He said, I would never quit on these guys. And he wasn’t playing. He just kept grinding and good things happen to people that do that.”

Nate Ament: "It's one of the reasons I chose Tennessee because of Coach Barnes and his faith. ... as a team, you're trying to glorify something bigger than yourself. And, ultimately, something that is Jesus Christ and is God can only lead to good things. When you're playing for something other than your own glory and the glory of others, the glory of your teammates, the glory of Christ, only good things can happen from there if you're being selfless and trying to take care of each other."
