Gee, and here I thought March Madness was a major part of the U.S. sporting scene,
drawing millions (and i mean millions) of people to follow it who never used to pay
any attention to collegiate basketball. Must be that they all hate it ever time Siena
beats Stanford, Coastal Carolina upsets someone or a Gonzaga makes a surprise run
through a couple of rounds.
By all means, let's go back to the days when there were only 16 teams in the
tournament, and some conferences wouldn't even let their No. 2 team compete.
