'09 NCAA Format Switch Not Going Over Well

On the eve of the NCAA Men's Championships at Purdue, Mike Carmin talks to coaches about the final NCAA to be played as a 72-hole stroke play event and explains the new format that will debut next year (and which most seem to not care for). I love the new format's attempt to get teams and match play involved, but I'm afraid shortening the individual competition to 54 holes will make it hard for the folks at Augusta National to give a spot to the NCAA champ.
