This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Agreed. The SEC Selections Get Under My Skin... by dillon77
I can't prove any "Collusion" between ESPN and the NCAA committee, but ESPN -- with it's financial interest in the SEC Network -- toots the horn about the conference and it's teams so incessantly that you wonder if it takes roots with the committee.
Ohio most certainly should've made the tourney. And I wonder what would've happened if Penn had beaten Princeton in the Ivy finals (it was a close game). Princeton had "at large" qualifications and might've knocked out one of the final four.
BTW, Indiana did prove its mettle with the win over Texas. They were way to short (of stature) against Oregon. Wise is a wing playing power forward for them. Still, valiant effort by Patberg, Penn (who has improved remarkably) and the Hoosiers.
