Anyone else filling out a bracket?

VCU!

Who woulda thunk it?

VCU all the way

Definitely VCU or Butler on Monday against the winner of the NCAA Violations bracket.

UConn wins. And Calhoun gets to serve his suspension next year. Lot of dirty people in college sports.

Also, the third time Steve Kerr said "length and athleticism", I was forced to use the mute button.

I might argue the dirtiest of the dirty are those at the very top in college sports, meaning the NCAA itself. I think it's criminal that these kids never see a dime of all that money that is made off of them. Then the NCAA decides to nitpick every little thing that goes on in universities on top of that.

It's total garbage on both fronts. Players should be paid, as it is they are treated like slaves basically. Very little rights to much of anything at all.

You do that, then you really have no need for a lot of the rules as well since a good many of them are based upon the amateur status of the players. In any case though, it's all long overdue for a change, but as long as greed runs things it won't happen.

Good points. And if you want to take it a step further, where are the NBA and NFL in all this? They are getting a free farm system via the NCAA. Kids who have no interest in school have no choice but to enroll in an NCAA program because it's the route to the pros. These kids are heavily recruited and this is where it gets dirty. Also, consider that the coach makes a $couple mil$ while the players make zero. Well not exactly zero - they do get a free education, but that doesn't come close to the millions the coaches make.
