i guess it's safe to say tourney expansion is a gigantic success. 

expand to 72 next year:  last 8 automatic bids and last 8 at-large bids have to play 1st round?  :excited:

Yes!

Also, do a 256 team pre-season tournament, and then maybe a small 64 team invitational in August or something in Europe or Canada just to keep the kids sharp.

yeah, i was stretching there.   single elimination is definitely the most enjoyable for spectators.  but double elimination final 8 could last a whole week w/ games every day.
