"National Corrupt Athletic Association"


Independent panel will not work. How can we think the selection committee is a valid entity. Cunningham the guy running the thing got a bonus when UNC made the tournament.

There is no way to create a bigger conflict of interest than that there scenario.

Wow I wondered how UNC got in now we know.

This should end all debate about how corrupt the NCAA has become. This is a clear smoking gun. Something needs to change or no credibility will be left.

None of UNC, SDSU, Texas, Vanderbilt or Xavier deserved a bid. Neither did Ohio State, Boise, Indiana or West Virginia. This was a year where the last few bids went to the least undeserving teams. West Virginia needs to stop being so whiny.

Digging in a little deeper, I think leaning so heavily on metrics alone for seeding was a mistake by the Committee. There was some serious over-seeding, especially at the 5 and 6 lines (Michigan, Oregon, Missouri, Mississippi, Illinois), while under seeding teams like Creighton/Louisville and UConn. A case could be made that Purdue and Texas A&M are over seeded too.

The metrics have a tendency to reward teams for quality losses while punishing teams for non-quality wins. I am not anti-metrics, but it feels like it is a massive driver in seedings whne it should just be a factor. Does anyone really think Mississippi or Oregon is a threat to go to the Final 8? While this may seem like fun for the SEC and Big 10 conferences to get more teams with big seeds, 1 seed’s like Florida and Auburn now potentially have really tough second round matchups.
