Who Says it's Not About the Money?

As everyone probably knows, the NCAA (National Committee of Avaricious Assholes) has agreed to expand the mens national tournament from 64 teams to 68 teams. Sorry I'm so late with this. Tiny and I were running shit shoeless on the golf course. It was just too perfect outside to be sitting at a fucking computer. Anyway, this is nowhere near the 96 teams that people like Jim Boeheim were calling for. I think I know exactly why a high profile coach like Boeheim, whose team always makes the tournament would be advocating for an expansion. Dolla dolla bills ya'll it's that simple. More teams means a WHOLE lot more money to go around. The more games that his Syracuse team gets to play in the biggest money-making month of the year in all of sports, the bigger that bonus check gets. Roy "class attack" Williams was the only coach with something sensible so say on the matter. He said, "I really was torn myself with what to do, so taking the field to 68 seems like a good step. This will give them time to decide if this is just an intermediate step to a larger event or not. There are so many good teams, and adding three more helps get them in the bracket without tarnishing the specialness of the tournament." That last line is the key to this whole situation. You have to draw the line somewhere because the NCAA tournament is the holiest of holy in college sports. You can't go expanding it by 30 teams allowing basically every team with a .500 record from every major conference into the field. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, and I know I don't have any money invested in the NCAA (except from gambling), but I love the tournament how it is now. You have 64 and a half teams who earned their spot by playing hard and winning games when they mattered, and you have like 6 teams bitching about not getting invited. I mean that's how all invitation only events are right? The cool people get invitations, and the people who think they're cool but aren't, complain about not getting invited. Then they throw they're own weak ass party (NIT).
