It's NBA Draft season everyone!!

The NCAA has presented a plan to Division I conference commissioners that would expand the men's and women's basketball tournaments by four or eight teams alongside an option to leave each field at 68 teams, a source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.

The proposals were outlined to the commissioners this week by NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt and NCAA vice president for women's basketball Lynn Holzman, the source said. Under the proposal, expansion of the 68-team field included both four- and eight-team models. The NCAA would keep its 64-team bracket but would add play-in games involving the Nos. 10 through 12 seeds.

If the men's tournament expands, it is expected the women's tourney would as well. Yahoo Sports first reported on the proposals.

"It is appropriate to look at expansion, and we need to do that," ACC commissioner James Phillips said Thursday during the Associated Press Sports Editors summer conference. "We're looking at it."

Phillips didn't go into details on the proposal, which he said now "goes in front of the basketball committee, basketball oversight."

"When do you get to the point when the regular season doesn't matter?" Phillips said. "Modest expansion is something I would prefer."

There are many in college basketball who have said they believe the 68-team fields and three weekends of play are ideal, but pressure has grown to add teams and games to one of the most popular sports events on the U.S. calendar. Last year, the NCAA Division I board of directors approved recommendations that included allowing one-quarter of teams in larger sports to compete in championship events; in that scenario, the March Madness tournaments could expand to nearly 90 teams.

Sources told ESPN during this year's tournaments that ongoing discussions about expanding March Madness would result in no more than 80 teams for the men's event.

The NCAA is in the midst of an eight-year extension of its TV deal for the men's tournament worth $8.8 billion that runs through 2032. That would not be expected to change if a handful of teams are added.

More games would provide a small boost through ticket sales and merchandise, but the pool of money the NCAA uses to pay out conferences and member schools would essentially stay the same. What could change, however, is how that money would be divided up if the tournament broadens.

Expansion would also mean the men's tournament would have to find an additional site besides Dayton for its First Four games. The Ohio city already has games on Tuesday and Wednesday and wouldn't be able to host additional play-in games ahead of the tournament's traditional Thursday first round. Women's play-in games are at the same campus sites as the first two rounds of the tournament.

Expansion is largely backed by larger conferences, and smaller leagues do not want to lose the automatic bids that come with a conference tournament championship or face the prospect of always being slotted for the play-in games.

The earliest the NCAA tournament could expand would be the 2025-26 season, the source said. The NCAA basketball oversight committee meets next week, and the tournament selection committee has a meeting next month.


The men's tournament last expanded in 2011 when it went from 65 to 68 teams. The women's tournament went from 64 to 68 teams in 2022.

The women's tournament is coming off its most successful year ever that included a record audience of 18.7 million for the title game win by South Carolina over Iowa, the highest for a basketball broadcast of any kind in five years. It outdrew the men's championship game -- when UConn claimed its second consecutive title with a win over Purdue -- by nearly 3 million viewers. The women's tournament also had record attendance.

The Knicks moved up to take a ready-made college star and a Villanova “villain.”

Tyler Kolek, a 23-year-old guard, was chosen 34th on Thursday by the Knicks, who traded three other second-round picks to grab the Marquette star.

Kolek is a veteran by draft prospects standards. He played four years in college, one at George Mason, three at Marquette. He led the NCAA in assists last season while averaging 15.3 points in 31 games and shooting 39 percent from beyond the arc.

His experience is a stark contrast to the Knicks’ first-round choice from Wednesday, 18-year-old wing Pacome Dadiet of France.

Relevant given the current dynamics of the Knicks roster, Kolek was mercilessly taunted by Villanova fans as he buried the Wildcats in January.

Kolek, who dropped a career-high 32 points with nine assists in that matchup, said he embraced Nova hate.

“We come on the road and they’re yelling [that] I can’t read,” Kolek told reporters after the game. “They’re yelling, ‘Where were you on January 6?’

“All this [expletive]. I love that stuff. I walk out, they’re booing me. It’s fun. It’s fun for me.

I’m undefeated against Villanova,” Kolek added. “I’ve never lost to them in three years.”

The Knicks now have four Villanova NCAA champions — Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Donte DiVincenzo — in their rotation.

And there’s potential, if Kolek’s game translates to the NBA, to serve as a Brunson backup.

The Knicks, who will be limited in how they can add players this summer because of their salary-cap situation, could’ve used another ballhander in the playoffs. Miles McBride and Alec Burks were thrust into that role when Brunson was subbed out despite having shooting-guard skillsets.

Kolek’s NBA upside is as a floor general with a ceiling comparison to TJ McConnell, the pesky Pacers point guard who served an important role in eliminating the Knicks from the playoffs last season. Kolek has that competitive fire and, at 6-foot-3, is taller than McConnell with a better shot. But he’s limited athletically and not as strong an on-ball defender.

Fran Fraschilla, the former St. John’s coach and NCAA analyst, raved about Kolek to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel during his junior season.

“You have to have high-IQ guys,” Fraschilla said. “Tyler Kolek thinks the game as well as any point guard in college basketball. It’s not even close. His passing ability is on par with anyone. To have a guy like that, it would be like having [the Kansas City Chiefs’] Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. If you put Patrick Mahomes on my Jets, they’re still playing. And with Marquette, they have the perfect trigger man.”

The Knicks already have three of their own second-round picks on the roster — McBride, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims — so there’s a precedent for real opportunity.

After choosing Kolek, the Knicks made a series of pick swaps, and finished the evening with the 56th and 58th picks, using them to choose Kevin McCullar Jr. out of Kansas and Ariel Hukporti from Germany, respectively.

Welcome to N.Y.​

A look at the Knicks’ second-round picks in Thursday’s draft:

Tyler Kolek, PG: Second round, 34th overall

A college star at Marquette and, at 6-foot-3, 195-pounds, a floor general who has been hailed as among the best passers in the country.

Experience gives him a high floor as a prospect who could possibly contribute right away.

Kevin McCullar Jr., F: Second round, 56th overall

Blossomed as a senior at Kansas before his season was derailed by a knee injury. A strong, 6-7 defender, but a career 31 percent 3-point shooter in the NCAA at a decent volume is concerning.

Ariel Hukporti, C: Second round, 58th overall

The 22-year old prospect from Australia has a high motor and appreciates defense.

At 6-11 and 246 pounds, he could fit the role of a Tom Thibodeau center. Limited offensively and underwent Achilles surgery in late 2022.
