NCAA announces bracketing rules changes for NCAA tournament


On Thursday afternoon, the NCAA revealed the approved changes to bracketing rules for the NCAA tournament, starting with this coming spring’s event. Overall, the new approach seems to make sense, with the goal to keep teams closer to true seed once they’re placed in the bracket by relaxing conference and regular-season rematch restrictions. In a media conference call following the release, Wake Forest athletic director and selection committee chairman Ron Wellman said that 90 percent of the seed-line moves in the last three NCAA tournaments would have been eliminated under these new procedures.

Good move. Makes the better conferences happy.
