March Madness is nearly perfect. That's why people always freak out whenever the NCAA considers tweaking something with it.

The first Thursday and Friday of the NCAA Tournament is probably the best two-day stretch on the sports calender.

But as exciting as it is, the tournament could still use some changes.

Hold first and second round games on the highest seed's homecourt

No one really pays attention to college basketball during the regular season. And for good reason — it doesn't matter all that much since it's basically just a seeding mechanism.

So to give the regular season more meaning, why not reward the best regular-season teams by giving them homecourt advantage?

The four highest seeds in each regional could host these games — just like they do in college baseball's tournament.

The atmosphere would be off-the-charts.



No more play-in games

They stink because:

  1. They don't really feel like tournament games.
  2. No one watches them.
  3. They tire out whichever teams win for their next game.


Fine, if you want to keep play-in games, don't put automatic qualifiers in them

Play in games on Tuesday night in Dayton just aren't true March Madness games.

But if you really have to have them, make mediocre big-conference teams play in them. Don't short-change some random mid-major who may never quality for the NCAA Tournament ever again.
