Letter: 64 is OK for women

I truly enjoy Ron Kantowski's columns and as a UNLV alum living in Albuquerque, it's nice to be able to get Rebel football info from the Sun on a regular basis.

However, regarding his Tuesday note on a 64-team NCAA women's basketball tournament being overkill, I'd like to point out that a No. 16 seed has upset a No. 1 seed on the latter's home floor (Harvard over Stanford) in the women's tournament. Sixty-four teams are deserving of entry into this tourney but the NCAA must make all games on neutral courts as on the men's side.
