ESPN 's Pete Thamel reported this week that a possible expansion to 76 schools remains on the table.

Frida Ghitis: Why mess with sporting perfection? She says 68 is four too many, requiring clunky play-in games on Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton , Ohio , before the main event begins Thursday .

Ghitis says the NCAA has possessed something special -- and nearly impossible to attain -- the first Thursday and Friday of the NCAA tournament.

No, this is about performance bonuses for eight more coaches and eight more athletic directors. If you are one of those people, then maybe this makes some short-term sense. If you step back though, there is little to nothing to be gained and so much to be lost. Sixty-eight is more than enough..
