Unfortunately, we are down to just 5 quad 1 wins. UNC has 14.

Here is my top 10 with kenpom computer, sagarin computer, ncaa seed, and final AP rankings (final poll before NCAA tournament). KenPom only goes back to 2002 and Sagarin only goes back to 2000.

The issue with GTown's offense this year is they don't have a point guard. DSR is their only quality guard and he is more of a shooter than a ball handler. Nobody can create offense for anyone...

Yes, the MWC figured out that you are better off playing D2 teams than 200+ RPI opponents.

Boeheim has a been running a Huggins-esque program for decades. It just goes unreported because half the sports media are Syracuse grads.

This is an impressive list - Crimes during Boeheim's...

Least. Surprising. News. Ever.

Hypothetical 2013 "new" Big East tournament (seeded based on kenpom.com):

#1 Georgetown v #8 St. Johns / #9 Seton Hall
#4 Villanova v #5 Butler

#2 Creighton v # 7 Xavier / #10 Depaul
#3...

It's well worth $20.

Now it's being reported that WVU is not a lock to move to the B12. It's 50/50 between WVU and Louisville. Apparently, WVU makes more financial sense, but some in the B12 don't like the long travel...

St. Bona would also be ineligible....not that it would matter.

I read that they need a 75% vote to up the exit fees. I would guess the voting looked like this:

for increase - ND, SJU, UC, Gtown, Nova, Marq, SH, Prov, USF, Depaul (10)
against increase -...

Do you no longer stand by this?

I'm guessing it doesn't matter. I think if Mizzou goes to the SEC, then Big 12 adds 3 schools (BYU and probably WVU and Louisville). If Mizzou stays, then the Big 12 adds Louisville and BYU and the...

It seems like a priorioty for the BE would be to keep Notre Dame. I'm not sure whether ND would prefer a hybrid league with a bunch of directional schools or a basketball-only league or neither??
...

I'm sure it has provisions that would allow the Big 12 to renegotiate if there is a change in membership.

It seems like this whole deal is just a big game of survival. Right now the Big East and...

The SEC is afraid of inviting anyone from the Big 12 because of the legal issues with Texas A&M.

They won't fall off the map, but an all-Catholic league without ND won't generate the TV revenue of the current Big East. Over time all those schools will have the same problem as X when it comes to...

It's interesting to see that ND is part of that group. I think a basketball-only Big East needs Notre Dame to be appealing to ESPN. If ND heads to the Big 10, then I think the basketball-only...

I don't think a break away from the NCAA will ever happen for basketball. In football, the breakaway has essentially already occurred. The NCAA has no jurisdiction over the BCS.

Basketball needs...

I have no idea if this "source" is credible, but rumors that ND and Texas jointly submiitted a proposal to join the Big 10.
...

I agree with this. We already have 6 football superconferences. They are just going to consolidate to 4 or 5.

I don't see much impact to basketball overall. Creating a separate basketball...

This is the point. ESPN's value is its brand loyalty.

When studying TV viewing, researchers have found that most people only watch about 12 channels.

When I turn on my TV, I'm not going to...

UC. For every 1 UD fan I know, I know 100 UC fans.

Buffett's point is that the mega-wealthy get a lot of preferential tax treatment on their income.

Normal wages (reported on a W-2) get taxed up to 35%. The mega-wealthy tend not to generate...
