The NCAA made a move on Monday that will not have any competitive impact but is being applauded by the masses. Following a few years of screams to remove the First Round tags from the play-in games of the NCAA Tournament, they have voted to rename the official opening weekend games the first and second round. The change, which will come in 2016, eliminates the extremely unnecessary confusion of calling only a handful of games the First Round when in actuality the Round of 64 is the first round of tournament games.
Rounds of 64 and 32 will return to being called the first and second rounds in 2016: pic.twitter.com/IO1NJH9mss
