NCAA

It’s tournament time, March madness. All you here in your schools, workplaces, and other areas is college basketball. Both the Men and Women tournament is on the way. Everybody is talking who will deserves to be in, who are the sleeper, upset alert, and of course who will win the whole: who will be this year’s winner behind great teams like Rashad McCants 2005 UNC, Joakim Noah 2006 and 2007 Florida and last year winner Kansas with Mario Chalmers.

The NCAA committee picks the top 35 spots in the tournament on selection Sunday. And every year after selection Sunday comes the same arguments about what schools should’ve made the top 64. This year teams like Auburn and St Mary got shut out. It gets you to wonder who makes these decisions. It’s a ten person committee the chair person is Michael L Slive commissioner of the SEC.

Every year in the tournament we see school that we don’t recognize in you think I have never heard of this school before. We think of them as small schools. The “small schools” which aren’t really small has only one chance to go to the NCAA tournament and that is to win their division championship. No other way I bet the committee just doesn’t think about them. We never even hear of them unless the go somewhere far in the tournament. According to the NCAA their purpose is to govern competition in a fair, safe, equitable and sportsmanlike manner, and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. I get everything except the fair part. For school like Chattanooga and Morgan state it’s win your division or your season ends.
