Ok, so you all know I don’t no much about sports… nor do I care most of the time. But me think this article was super interesting and made some great points. What are your thoughts about NCAA changes?
Everyone knows why the NCAA men’s basketball tournament is a must-watch event. We all love the unveiling of the brackets; we all love San Diego and Western Kentucky and we really love Davidson. We all agree Tennessee’s band should get a bid every year if only to play “Rocky Top” at least a dozen times a game, and there are few things better than being in a building when a major upset is brewing and all the so-called neutral fans start screaming for a group of kids none of them could have picked out of a lineup two hours earlier.
That’s all good. But the NCAA tournament is far from perfect, in large part because the NCAA, in spite of all its yammering about doing what’s best for the “student-athlete,” sold its soul years ago and continues to put it up for resale to make a few extra bucks every year.

And check out this great last line:
Then again, they’re usually quiet during the official timeouts and the 20-minute halftimes while the PA guy thanks all the corporate champions, tells everyone the second game will start at 10:10 and reminds everyone that NCAA “student-athlete” day is April 6.
Seriously, they do that.
Thank God for Davidson.
