Turns out they were too optimistic.

I really, really hate to be negative. But, I have to agree. College sports just kinda suck nowadays. It makes no sense. The athletes and coverage have never been better. Interest is at an all time high. I suppose with better coverage there are more opportunities to make money. And money can ruin a good thing.

They really hated the SE OK loss and apparently took Temple out by association.

It's a if they thought John Wooden and Bob Knight are still coaching at the schools they made famous. They may as well have included Marquette because of Al McGuire.

Really sorry you guys didn't get in. That stinks to high heaven. It looks like they just added a bunch of name state schools because they could.

Clearly a name school couldn't be punished for little ol Wyoming stealing a bid. Really sorry for Temple.
