I don’t care what your brackets look like everyone wants to see Duke win or should I say Zion Williamson. I haven’t rooted for a Duke team ever in my life and unless the Bulls get the number one pick in the draft I might regret rooting for them now. How they weren’t part of the admissions scandal is beyond me. That people are surprised at the scandal more that they got caught. Wonder of wonders how the names end up on the buildings on campuses. And the laughable idea that somehow diplomas are diminished because of it. If your team doesn’t get the number one pick or aren’t in the top four or five teams to get into the lottery you’re watching for the other players your team might pick for need. Whoever gets Williamson might not actually need a big man but the pundits call him a generational talent. Not likely to surpass Jordan or Lebron in the conversation of the greatest of all time but they’re ready to put up a bust of him in the Hall of Fame. Since there is no NBA hall of fame but the basketball hall of fame do we need to parse between college or the Pro’s? I wouldn’t lock up the people who paid money for their kid to rip off some just as deserving or more deserving kid but the people who perpetrated the scam should definitely be behind bars. The shame of what these parents have done won’t be washed off anytime soon. So watch probably the best tournament in a decade because of so many teams are losing on purpose for the crazy level of talent in this year’s tournament regardless of seeding. But be sure college sports might never be the same. While the small state schools are struggling because they have a direction in their names Northern or Southern something or other and the education is just as valuable. I always said the NCAA was corrupt apparently so are the parents.
