just so I'm clear - people are in support of the National Corrupt Athletics Association as opposed to a guy who wants to challenge the status quo?

Good.. I’d like to see some accountability for some of their crappy picks. It just gets more egregious every year. Love how they always hide behind the whole ‘debates are good for the game’ argument they always throw out there.
...just so i'm clear, you supoort governors actually suing selection committes if their state school doesn't get invited into a playoff or tournament, if the Governor thinks they should have been included? Really?
yes.
it would be nice to have a governor who fought for fans instead of sending groveling texts from his knees to outgoing ADs.
If he wants to whine on social media have at it...call a presser and cry about it even...but to actually take legal action because you didn't get into a tournament with a 13-19 record is indeed, a bitch ass move that makes him look like an idiot.
I'd be stunned if he was dumb enough to actually follow thru with this, so its all a moot point anyway. Part of me kinda hopes he does, the nationwide mockery would be pretty funny.
While I don't agree with this approach, I do think that UNC AD Bubba Cunningham getting a bonus because the Tar Heels made the tournament is a travesty.
Is this how skilled ADs and big-time coaches have become at fleecing schools and their fans out of large amounts of money? You're the AD at one of the all-time blue blood basketball schools on the planet, but you deserve a bonus if they squeeze into the NCAA Tournament by the skin of their teeth? Good Lord.

they went 19-13 and 10-10 in a top hoops conference.
two teams with just one single quad 1 win got in above them for no reason whatsoever.
be sure to get your facts straight before you rush to bootlick the NCAA next time.
Hahaha..yeah i got the two turned around...i admit i was still laughing at the idea of suing the selection committee and i wasn't paying attention..
by all means, don't let facts stop you from worshipping any and all governing bodies
Good for him. I don't follow b-ball at all, so I don't have any idea if they deserved a shot, but anything that upsets the status quo is okay with me. It's too bad that Desantis didn't do the same for FSU 2 years ago. What happened to them was inexcusable and should have been fought.
I know what the facts were...that a 19-13 program didn't get invited to the dance. Happens every single year...and who the hell is worshiping the NCAA? I'm laughing at a governor.
Indiana was 19-13 and 10-10 in a playoff top hoops conference and they fired the coach.
I'm jealous of the fans of West Va.
having someone in a position like that go to bat for you publicly must be nice.
meanwhile, we have a propaganda-filled spring to look forward to.
Everything you post about eventually comes full circle about your hatred for Matt Rhule.
Yeah i'm considering our spring football a completely different subject that will not affect how I think about this one.
sure thing, comrade.
all hail the authorities! perhaps this dissenter will be met with the full power of the National Corrupt Athletic Association.
You think i'm over here doin the seig heil with an ncaa banner in my office? Hahaha
I hope the guy actually does sue...more I think about it. The entertainment value would be fantastic.
when was the last time the NCAA won a lawsuit?
I hope he sues, too.
might be the final arrow in the back of the basilisk that is the NCAA & we can finally stop pretending universities belong anywhere near the major sports business.
his constituents' trust and faith in him is all that matters.
things like this curry a lot of favor.
Yeah, but they were 14-9 and 5-7 and had only won one game in a month when that happened. They sucked, but sucked slightly less by season end.
It's why you should never let a coach finish the season, he might make things awkward.
They had 6 quad 1 wins and 19 total wins. Yeah, they got screwed.
the committee said they were left out because one of their best players might not be recovered enough from an injury to play
Wait, isn’t he the chairman of the selection committee? So, he basically just gave himself a bonus? Well if that doesn’t raise some eyebrows…
Get the fvck out. Fvck it.. just let AI pick the at large teams
more:
the committee claims to take its bracketologist's brackets into account when choosing at-large teams
111 of 111 had WVU in
23 of 111 had UNC in
And basically the guy hadn't played all season anyway. A total nonsense reason that even they don't believe.
