Special bonus ep: Will NCAA Tournament expand? How will committee handle SEC? What to know about selection process: Our 1-on-1 w/ NCAA SVP of Basketball, Dan Gavitt
We don't do guests often on the show, but when we do, they're big ones. So that brings us to this special episode, which was first posted to our YouTube channel. There are few in college sports with the candor and influence like NCAA SVP Dan Gavitt. Listen in as Matt Norlander and Gavitt chat for nearly an hour about the integration of new committee members, how tough it will be to seed the SEC in this year's tournament and, of course, where we stand with NCAA Tournament expansion — if the tournament even winds up expanding.
01:45 - How strong has the 2024-2025 season been so far?
4:30 - Dan’s role in when it comes to the NCAA Tournament
8:55 - “We did something a little different”
10:05 - The Practice Process of picking out teams and what it was like.
11:24 - How will committee handle seeding challenges with SEC?
17:35 - Will this year have a "dangerous" crop of 8-10 seeds?
20:15 - How do injuries factor into seeding?
22:10 - What prompted the committee to use new predictive metrics?
26:54 - Should the committee’s composition change to add new voices?
31:00 - What is the timeline on possible NCAA tourney expansion?
33:46 - “Expansion is complex”
37:32 - Gavitt’s opinion on NCAA Tournament expansion
43:00 - Will Tournament expansion be resolved in 2025?
45:00 - What will the NIT look like going forward?
