I fear that the mid-majors added
will be dwarfed by the slack-ass motherfucking 8-10 SEC and B1G teams whose ADs and coaches want to fluff that CV with another "NCAA tournament invite".
And 76 on the women's side is just staggeringly unjustifiable.
Given that it's my hometown, I love the show that Dayton has put on over the years for the early games and know how much pride they take in hosting. But my inclination is to start boycotting everything prior to Thursday, and I hope that many other fans (non-degenerate-gambler flight) will do the same and shove it back up the NCAAs greedy asshole.
