It's March, Time for the NCAA Selection Committee To Cheat the mid majors and the fan I have just obtained this internal document that the Committee is given every year.....
Gentleman,
We all know who we work for.....the Big Power Conferences. Therefore, let's remind ALL of our main agendas for the tourney.
1. NEVER allow a mid major to embarrass one of our own. That means we have to identify the really good mid majors and put them vs. OTHER mid majors, preferably the ones that are most
dangerous. Look for LBST this year to get Wichita St, etc.
2. The public won't notice. They are blind. We can put a bunch of games with Big Conf vs. Big and Small vs. Small like Ten vs. Cal, Cin vs. Indiana, Temple vs. SDST, etc, and no one will ever notice.
3. Send particularly dangerous mid majors to their deaths in the 2nd round, by giving them 2nd round road games vs. our employers, Duke, NC, etc (of course IN North Carolina)
3a. AVOID giving really good mid majors 3 or 6 seeds, since that will keep em away from our no1 monsters. Make the really good ones 4,5s, preferably make the good ones 8/9 ......and send em through Syr or Kent close to home..........that way
they will be history.
4. Continue our mostly excellent official selections. We cannot have Coach K lose to Long )(#*%R Beach St. They know what to do. The ref who called the foul on Ku at the end of the Northern Iowa game has been reprimanded. The
one who whistled Baylor for a block vs. Duke has been giving a lifetime achievement award.
5. AT ALL COSTS do no allow UNLV to get to the sweet 16. ALWAYS put them on the 8/9 line, and send em East............preferably vs. teams much closer to home.
6. Drop the envelopes off to our the media, to make sure they applaud what a great job we have been doing.
7. If we see one more VCU or Butler in the final four, YOU ARE ALL FIRED.........we need to prevent this kind of debacle from happening again!
