I am confused. Are you saying we are not being selected this go around? Your last tweet implies we are in.
That doesn't sound good at all. "We're good" looks very 2011 and 2013 to me.
Just another schmuck trying to read the tea leaves that are DB's tweets.
I was just about to add this too!
This is what they always do. “Rah rah we’re winners look how shiny and cool our basketball team is please don’t think about the sustainability of it haha.”

I wish they would talk more about how much it sucks winning all these championships. Of course there's no sustainability of winning basketball championships. We already went over this 10 years ago on the board.
I know you’ve been over this with other posters, but eventually the P2/3 is gonna create their own tournament and keep the crazy amounts of money it generates. Idk when exactly it’ll happen, but these schools are way too greedy to not see the money trees they can grow by splitting off from the NCAA and the broke conferences like the Big East.
Only for those who were so sure it was a done deal
Yeah, I'm not buying any of that.
I think you’re underestimating the precedent of greed and selfishness that’s been set by these power school universities. They’ve ruined what made college sports special already, tradition and reason beyond the financial is dead, all that’s left is to maximize value.
The same network that broadcasts Purdue vs Fairleigh Dickinson. Except now the FD equivalent has 50x more fans tuning in for the potential upset. People need to realize a tournament made up of all power teams draws in way more eyes, because all these schools have fan bases.
Dan would be a moron to turn down 10 million per year from anyone.
It will hurt the casual fans who like the upsets. But then even Indiana high school got rid of the format that gave us Hoosiers miracles.
They are simply along for the ride. Texas money is calling the shots.
Dude, St. Peter's destroyed the NBA playoffs in tv ratings.
I promise when the first crappy big school completely blows everyone’s mind by playing above their ability, people will still care. It’s not about St. Peter’s being a mid major, it’s the fact they had no business making it that far.
Is this a serious question? How are you this big a college basketball fan and don't know why the tournament is so loved?
We might not get an invite but at least we have troophies-AD Dave
I mean it’s sorta rhetorical, I know people like their David vs Goliath matchups. But 16 seed Vanderbilt upsetting its way to the S16 will have a very similar impact.
