Also, CBS and Turner will show all of next year's games live.

I can totally deal with 68 teams. A wacky number, but no wackier than 65, and waaay better than 96.
I can deal with 68. But the play in games should be between the last 8 teams to get in, not automatic qualifiers. They could play for the 12 seed or something like that.

I disagree. As it is, the last few automatic qualifiers have virtually nil chance to win a game in the tournament. Participants in the last several play-in games have said themselves that they really enjoyed participating in it, because they got the stage to themselves and had a chance not just to participate in the proceedings, but to actually notch a win. I think this format will work just fine.
