Relevant portion of the article for non-clickers:
 
Selection Sunday is getting bigger. The NCAA Basketball Championship Selection Show, featuring the exclusive, live first-time announcement of the pairings for the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, is expanding to two hours. Turner Sports and CBS Sports will begin the road to the 2016 Final Four with the newly expanded show, airing Sunday, March 13, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
 
The bigger Selection Show will feature more analysis, more discussion, more interviews and more reactions from teams as they learn their seed, region and opponent. Ernie Johnson will join Greg Gumbel to host the show from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City. Clark Kellogg, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Seth Davis and Doug Gottlieb will provide analysis breaking down the bracket. Previously, the one-hour Selection Show aired from 6-7 p.m.
 
 
The Selection Show is so outdated, I know they never will but they should ditch the entire thing. It's not like the draft where anything is happening between each announcement, they are literally just dragging out telling us predetermined information like some kind of VH1 countdown. Release the bracket instantaneously and save us all a headache. I'll even download a proprietary app filled with ads for it.

Or they could make it a contest. Let people vote on each selection and the winner gets to go to the final four or something. Probably increase viewership to make it worth it

That would be pretty cool. Like a pre-bracket bracket challenge. Almost statistically impossible to get them all right too, so almost no risk.

Oh I'd say give point values and give it to the highest scorer. Might increase viewer of not only the selection show but conference tourneys people watching the bubble teams

I'll watch enough to hear what they about IU. That's about it. ;)

 

Barkley - "They're turrrble but that Williams is an athalete."

Gottlieb - "They take too many threes and don't defend.  Can't win away from Assembly Hall."

 

I saved you a lot of time mister.

That cast of analysts... Sigh.

Gottlieb is actually worthless. The NBA guys may as well not be there. They'd do better pulling in random fans off the street to provide insight.

That's like when ESPN brings in Stephen A. to do Gameday. Also Kenny Smith is THE worst.
