The NCAA Tournament will probably get bigger, but is that better?

Auburn basketball coach Jeff Lebo's future has been a hot topic of discussion this season, but does Athletics Director Jay Jacobs have anything to say? (The Associated Press)

Can UAB make the NCAA Tournament without winning the C-USA Tournament? The Blazers' NCAA hopes took a hit last week by losing to both Memphis and UTEP.

Can Jay Jacobs make a case that Jeff Lebo is worth bringing back to open Auburn's new arena? Lebo will likely become just the second SEC coach since 1985 to have gone six straight years at one school without an NCAA Tournament bid, joining Ed Murphy of Ole Miss from 1986 to '92.

Can the NCAA justify expanding the NCAA Tournament, possibly up to 96 teams by this time next year? Get ready for a bloated and worse March Madness for the sake of the almighty dollar.

Birmingham News reporter Jon Solomon and News columnist Ray Melick discuss those topics in this week's Birmingham News Sports podcast. Have a listen.
