Paying for play would probably tilt things even more in favor of the blue blood schools, as if it was above board they would be the 1's who could afford guys. Probably be like late 90's/early 00's MLB where teams just bought wins.

Maybe it would be more on the up and up but I really don't know why people care that this happens, not like it effects your viewing experience.

Disagree. One of the fun things about college BB and march madness is rooting for the underdog and upsets.

Garbage like this widens the already-wide chasm between the mid-majors and the blue bloods.

It is less enjoyable to me when the top teams get all the top players. I liked watching Steph Curry at Davidson. So yes, it affects my viewing experience.

As far as your comment that it would tilt things further in favor of the blue bloods, you could control that with caps.

I don't think so at all. Take this year's Arizona, Duke, UNC, UK teams. I don't see any of them winning the tourney. Their pay-for-play hasn't distanced them away from the competition at all.

Hell, I don't see UK getting in the tourney.

Oh, you don't see them winning the tourney. I see. EF doesn't think they will win the tourney, so case closed, no advantage gained. Gimme a fucking break, every school you listed is a top 5 seed. What you predict doesn't mean shit.

Just to remind you, here are the recent tourney winners. 5 out of the last 9 are from the short list of 4 you have above. Ya know, the list of teams that has supposedly NOT gained any advantage.

UNC
Nova
Duke
UConn
Louisville
Kentucky
UConn
Duke
UNC
Kansas
Florida
Florida
UNC
UConn
Cuse
Maryland
Duke
Michigan State
UConn
Kentucky
Arizona
Kentucky

Do you notice a trend on this list Enfuego??? Does it look like there is parity between blue blood schools and mid majors?

Wrong again. UK is a mortal lock to make it. Lunardi has them as a fucking 5 seed right now.

#23...Houston
#20...Nevada

#4 Xavier high ranking for that team.

I see at least 6 or 7 teams I would put ahead of them

Yeah,I was looking at smaller schools

Auburn and Texas Tech are back on the map

Too bad McLemore got hurt, Auburn was having a magical season. They're not deep enough to make a super deep run without him.

Unfortunate, because the final 4 is 10 minute from my house this year, would have been cool to go see them play for it all.

We can't even have a cordial discussion without you jumping all over me for no reason at all. It's old and I'm tired. It's just a waste of our time. I respect your opinions, you don't have an ounce of respect for mine. It's all good.
