I tried to paste in the whole thread but it isn't showing up. Apologies.

His main job is public relations and he is awful at public relations. The member institutions run the NCAA and purposely limit its power. When Emmert tries to assert himself he breaks his organization's own rules (eg. Penn State). It would be difficult to be worse at his job.

I don't like it in DC.

Kenpom's formula is also a secret yet you fully understand that it is better than RPI. I'm pretty sure any model that uses “game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses" and was trained with actual...

You are the one taking shots at something you don't know much about. Did you read the Sporting News link? Start there. Make a useful point and I'll be happy to respond.

I'm sorry. You are just being dramatic. They are replacing RPI with a better metric. So the quadrant information on the sheet will better represent what they are meant to do (the top X are more accurately represented so the corresponding quadrant information is inherently more accurate). This...

This link has a more complete explanation than the previous one: http://www.sportingnews.com/ca/ncaa-basketball/news/ncaa-tournament-metric-net-selection-committee-replace-rpi-bpi-kenpom-march-madness/1wk0ufr4jnljvzwm8dnrfq266

I don't think trying to work the system is a good thing. We have a fundamental disagreement.

It uses offensive and defensive efficiency, used input from Ken Pomeroy and the BPI guys at ESPN, and was tested during last season. Those things make it superior to RPI, which is a terrible model based upon nothing but guesswork.

RPI is simply a bad metric. They are replacing it with a better one. GT doesn't have a side in it other than a school like GT should always support better math.

Excerpt: The new metric, which is called the NCAA Evaluation Tool (or NET), will rely on “game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses.” (It’s worth noting here that while scoring margin is factored...

I'm not sure what DRad did to win a national championship at Clemson but I'll bite. DRad, like most people, has certain things he does well and others not as well. He is good at major construction projects (McCamish is great) and the people who work for him generally like and respect him. He...

Builder of things. Extender of contracts.

The ACC withheld payments so they had no choice but to pay the agreed upon exit fee, which was settled at $31.4 million: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2014/08/08/acc-maryland-settle-lawsuits-buyout-big-ten-conference/13781545/
