WV Governor Taking Legal Action Against NCAA Selection Committee

Glad to see this if only to start a conversation that matters. Corruption is corruption and if the NCAA committee is being corrupt, there should be an investigation.

North Carolina has no buisness being picked ahead of West Virginia and since the NCAA committee leader is a UNC alum, there's smoke so the fire department needs to check it out.

Once the process starts, looking into how Clemson got a 5 seed and Louisville a 8 seed, could lead to more evidence of corruption.

We all know sports is a serious buisness with millions of dollars being made, so the notion that this isn't a serious lawsuit because its about a basketball tournament is disingenuous.

It may not go anywhere but the process needs to start. Everyone who pays attention knows how bad the NCAA is in virtually everything it does. Maybe shit like this corrupt bracket will hasten the Universities leaving the NCAA?

Let's get DOGE to look into the Selection Committee!

An idea that’s ready for prime time

I don't know why a team would fly anywhere to do this. Why couldn't you schedule this sort of thing with a closer school? Now, you wouldn't want to schedule it with your rival, so UK is for sure out, and probably Cincy (even without the Satterfield angle) is out. But you could schedule Ohio, Bowling Green, Akron, Miami, Toledo, Dayton, Youngstown....
If ESPN pays a team to fly, to take a thumping, they'll fly.

An idea that’s ready for prime time

Deion Sanders came up with what I admit is a great idea- to have the spring game against another team. It would probably be a controlled scrimmage sort of like in the NFL. Who should the Cards invite for their spring game?
It's a fun idea, but it would be poach-apalooza for other teams. They'd be able to scout and recruit players from two teams at once.

There are already a handful of programs shutting down their spring games.

Onward...I'm over it

I’ll say this.

It would be extremely difficult for anyone, including us, to make a bracket today that did not have “tough games/matchups” in the first two games.

It’s just the nature of the game. The tournament was having “Cinderella’s” and big upsets early every year.

NIL and the Portal have expanded Cinderella’s carriage.

Therefore, I believe the team that doesn’t have a mental letdown at some point will win it. If anybody takes anybody “for granted” because of history, or seeding, will regret it.

Too many good players/teams out there.

This.

ESPN and ALL the talking heads have
pumped up the sec all year. They can’t be made fools of. 🙄

The sec may be “the best”. But 90% of their big OOC wins came early. Some of those teams, like us, have improved dramatically. Maybe the sec has too.

We’ll find out soon.

Its said Auburn is highly upset at the possibility of playing us in the second game.

I just want to get to that game.

Then the next one ☝️
Something I've noticed watching SEC basketball: zero defense. All these teams are top scoring. Bama, Florida, UK, Mizzou, Auburn- they are all top 10 in PPG. I've learned two basic things about the NCAAT: it's about PG play and team defense. None of those teams play defense. The only SEC team that plays D is UT.

I don’t care as long as it’s not an SEC school. Those will be the ones getting the calls.
