    Okay, I am seeing lots of people on twitter say the ACC got 4 bids. Is this a thing and where did it come from?

    The funny part is that the UVA game counts as a unit. The championship game does not.

    Davis and Bacot are good and experienced. Their weakness is that their other players are inconsistent contributors. Ingram and Ryan have good games sometimes. When one of them scores, they are tough to beat. When both of them score they can win it all. A couple of their other guys are...

    The motivation is to get more of their teams in and more units. It is about grabbing even more of the pie. I agree with you that it would be bad for the tournament's entertainment value, which drives the size of the pie.

    Either 80 or 96 make sense to me. I don't like the play in games. The number of Division I basketball teams was 318 in 2000. It is 362 now. Oh, and RPI should never be discussed again.

    I only had Kentucky winning 1 so I probably will be better than I expected. From stuff I have seen, a lot of people had Kentucky making a run.

    There isn't really any difference to a team on the NCAA bubble between a 250 or 350 SOS. They played a bunch of teams they should easily beat either way.

    Early takes on the portal / NIL?

    Yes. The real question is how does an incremental $10M (or whatever figure) help you actually perform better? I'd say the top 50 schools have passed the point where it makes any competitive difference. This brings us to the current realignment. What exactly are we trying to do here? How does...

    Early takes on the portal / NIL?

    Just using GT as an example, in the '17-18 academic year GT's athletic revenue was about $92M. In '22-23' it was about $134M. The people constantly whining about lacking revenue have had tremendous revenue growth yet continue to spend/waste it. There is no accountability in college athletics.
