Jay Williams has been the subject of social media bombardment after he suggested the NCAA should extend its season.
The analyst was talking on First Take and judging by the comments he was made to look like a kook. Comments filled the web, with many calling his idea “insane,” “crazy,” and that it’s a “terrible idea,” and will “destroy the tournament.”
It is early in the week, but his take could be the worst analysis over the next seven-day news cycle.
The former Duke and Chicago Bullas player was an NCAA champion and 2-time Consensus first-team All-American point guard.
“Let’s just expand the tournament,” Williams said. “So, let’s just do 112 teams. The top 16 teams get a bye in the first round, the first round you have 96 teams: 24 games played on Tuesday, 24 games played on Wednesday.
“Then you have the Round of 64. Thursday, 16 games. Friday, 16 games. Then you get to the Round of 32. Eight games on Saturday, eight games on Sunday. There you go, 96 games in six days. This way, let everybody get in. You’re not paying attention to the first 5:30 games of the thing anyway.”
Williams may be taking a different take next week Monday.
