March Madess.
It's really March Sadness.
Those post season conference basketball tournaments are a waste of time.
Hey, you win your conference during the regular season, that's good enough.
Why do you have to prove it again in a tournament against teams you've already played twice during the regular season?
Oh yes, I forgot, greed. Conferences, schools and, of course, whores like ESPN have to make money.
Do away with conference tournaments and expand the NCAA tournament by a week to include only the best teams in the country.
Are you telling me that teams like Austin Peay and Coppin State deserve to be in? Are you telling me that Coppin State is better than bubble teams and other teams that didn't make the NCAA tournament? So what if Coppin State won their conference tournament. What kind of rinky dink conference do they play in anyway? How tough is their schedule? And Coppin State was in the twenty loss club this season. Why should a team with so many losses even be allowed on a basketball court?
Just when you thought post season football was the worst thing to hit college sports(no playoff system and meaningless bowl games), along comes the NCAA basketball tournament.

I am a promotions writer/producer for Fox News Chicago. My job is getting people to watch our 9pm news. I spent twenty years on the air as a newscaster, then sportscaster. On the weekends, I am a talent coach, spending that time helping others get started in broadcasting. Prior to being on-air, I did stand-up comedy in the Catskill Mountains of New York. I also wrote for people like Joan Rivers when I gave guided tours at the NBC Studios in New York (she paid pretty well). When I'm not working, I like to play golf and bowl. I love tennis but who can run that fast any more? I also like movies and plays and this is getting far too sappy.
