Couldn’t take only 3 from the mighty ACC.Missed 3.
Boise State, Indiana, West Virginia.
North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Xavier made it instead.
In my more than 30 years of doing this, North Carolina is the most egregious selection I’ve come across. The Tar Heels were 2-10 vs. the field, and one of those wins was American U.![]()
I don’t gamble.
Deep conference, but the ESPN experts all picked chalk for final 8. 1v2. They don’t seem to think it’s a deep tournament.
As well they should. In an era of widespread corruption in almost all facets of our society, taking an unworthy team with the most egregious institutional cheating ever with that institutions AD as the chair isn’t helping to rebuild trust in institutions. Disgusting.Committee taking a lot of heat regarding UNC.
It gets worse:Their AD being the Selection Chair had nothing to do with it. Nothing!
Grim.It gets worse:
Bubba Cunningham's New Contract Details Released
The amended contract is stocked with opportunities for bonus payouts by hitting various benchmarks each academic year.
Additional compensation in the form of bonuses equal to one month’s salary for increased responsibilities for each of the following: (1) UNC’s football team is invited to a bowl game; and (2) its men’s and women’s basketball teams are invited to the NCAA Tournament. Those bonuses are paid to compensate Cunningham for “the overload duties, work and responsibilities” related to those events.

We’ve decided the SEC is stacked yet they haven’t won the tournament in 13 years.
We’ll see where it all ends up in the end.
You get what you pay for (generally).The SEC was miles above any other conference this year and the SEC teams in the tourney deserve to be. Regardless how they do.
First time.How many times has a team that wasn't even in YOUR First 4 Out made the actual NCAA Field?
Good for WV.
This is not helping the general cratering of peoples trust in institutions.$$ talks and Texas and UNC........ well they let em in for the money..... sad but true
