Interesting article about the NCAA bringing in media members for a mock selection process.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basket...AZy2jJ9GxoiCyrevbYF?slug=jn-tourneymock022311
One of the most interesting pieces of info to me was this:
"The committee may make mistakes from time to time, but it does everything possible to make sure the right teams are selected.
One example: A school such as Utah State has amassed a gaudy record mostly by whipping up on no-name opponents – but it’s not as if Stew Morrill’s squad hasn’t tried to schedule good teams. The problem is that no one wants to play Utah State. Because it seems unfair to penalize the Aggies for their predicament, a committee member may request copies of e-mails between Utah State and other schools that clearly show an attempt by Utah State to schedule tough opponents – as well as the returned e-mail in which the potential opponent declined the opportunity. Such evidence may cause the committee to look more favorably upon Utah State."
So we should probably send in a letter outlining how ESPN switched up our previously scheduled game with Duke, right?
I kid, but really.
