Since I am a Rutgers fan...

please excuse me for not knowing too much to the selection process the "Dance" really uses as I have not had much need, for some time, to really care.
But, doesn't the committee also try to add a "Cinderella" type of team?
With all of the great press and even being ranked briefly, I would think we would qualify.

They pick the teams with the best resumes, they don't really care about "Cinderella" or not. Cinderella also means different things to different fans. Some college basketball fans will never consider a team from a major conference a "Cinderella" team because they get so many more opportunities to make it to the tournament compared to the mid-majors. To them, only mid-majors can be Cinderella.

I would guess that about a third of the teams in the tourney in any given year could become a cinderella.Almost any 10 seed or lower that wins a few games gets that status.

Huh. Is this a troll post? Very misinformed.
