Indianapolis ? The NCAA has settled on the format for the new 68-team men’s basketball tournament, though the announcement isn’t scheduled until sometime next week.

The Div. I men’s basketball committee reached its decision after studying a number of options and discussing feedback during meetings in Chicago, said David Worlock, associate director of the March Madness tournament.

Details were not disclosed.

“We discussed several options, just trying to not leave any stone unturned,” said committee member Laing Kennedy, the athletic director at Kent State.

The NCAA announced in April that it would add three teams to the field, the first expansion for the tournament since it went from 64 to 65 in 2001. The new format is scheduled to take effect next March.
