To achieve what result, exactly?

If nothing else, bringing further political pressure on the NCAA and EXPOSING an injustice that would otherwise remain concealed.

If Beshear was not such a huge UK fan, it is possible the Commonwealth of Kentucky could join the action on behalf of UL .........but that ain't happening.

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?

The ACC leadership should be raising hell that their #2 team got screwed. But, they won’t because their #team golden child team (unc) got in and that’s is more important.

All out revolt! Hang the freaking banner back up!

Louisville is in a difficult position because the NCAA could easily revoke NCAAT games from the Yum Center in the future. That would of course do real damage to the city as a ton of $ gets poured in for those 4 days.

I believe the agreement we signed on the banner would also impact WBB and volleyball if we tried hanging it. Not 100% on that stuff though.

But it is interesting to see WV looking at this.
