We know what’s going on in the NCAA Tournament.
I can’t imagine there’s someone reading this being like whoa, who is playing?
And on and on we go.
Seemingly they forget the same thing happened in 2017.
But we live in a world where everyone has to freak out when something goes one way.
Let me be clear, the transfer portal sucks because it needs to be changed.
It shouldn’t be open now and we need some limits in terms of how it works.
One free transfer, free transfer if your coach leaves then.
But NIL and all this has been around for more than this Tournament.
Why did no one scream about it the last two years?
It’s the easiest crutch to lean on when something in college sports isn’t going our way.
The Tournament is fucking weird.
Every year it’s weird.
It wasn’t a mid-major doing anything.
Obviously we didn’t have NIL or transfer portal that year, but it shows this shit just happens.
you’re able to’t take a one-off sample size and yell this is the new normal.
We’ve seen mid-majors in the Final Four during the NIL/portal era.
You wanna tell me this Tournament hasn’t been the best?
Sure, whatever, I’ll listen to that argument.
But that’s because of reviews, blowouts, mid-majors shooting 30% on the big stage.
It’s a combo of shit that we’ve seen play out this way.
Right now it’s just the top teams are fucking awesome.
