Probably not as much as the networks who are paying for the broadcasting rights. I'll bet they "influence" the NCAA to have as many marquee names as possible in the tournament. They also hope for 1-2 "Chicago-Loyola" teams to build intrigue. They certainly don't want a lot of Bowling Green's - Weber State's - Eastern Kentucky's -
Richmond's clogging up prime time matchups.
