    In the last two weeks I have read Rex Chapman and Jack Givens new books...

    Chapman's book is a cautionary tale presented in the voice of an overgrown adolescent. It should come as no surprise that its low quality has the stench of the odious Seth Davis on it as well.

    Today is Mark Emmert’s Last Day As NCAA President

    Baker is no longer governor. His term ended in early January. He is an inarticulate squish who seems like a perfect fit for the NCAA. Any reforms or common sense will be a pleasant surprise.

    Duke's crooked Program, and ncaa violations, the double standard

    Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley fined $20K, suspended after confronting official

    Apparently being an official means never having to say you are sorry. If refs are not made to at least answer media questions, they should be subject to review/graded with penalties that include forfeiting part or all of game checks. I nominate ten random citizens residing in the 40506 zip...

    Bilas and Darts

    How about a competitive sports league wherein teams comprised of fans of major college basketball programs not named Duke throw darts at Bilas?

    OT: Wow, Scottie Pippen called Phil Jackson, racist

    Pippen's "migraine" in Game 7 of the ECF against the Pistons -- also racist.

    Lunardi’s way too early 2022 bracket has UK as a #5 seed

    Does ESPN pay Lunardi on a per-bracket basis? It's a wonder he doesn't churn out a replica of the actual bracket and label it a "Way-too-late" bracket.
