Had a perfect bracket until No. 3 Kentucky lost to No. 14 Oakland...
...which is not in California, mind you, but in Michigan... Oakland, Michigan... I called No. 11 Duquesne vs No. 6 BYU No. 11 Oregon vs No. 6 South Carolina - nailed it No. 11 NC State vs. No.6 Texas Tech - no sweat But No. 3 Kentucky couldn't get it done against No. 14 Oakland - a former D2 team...
March Madness - budget style
I know this is kind of trivial (the bracket part anyways), but I've always found it entertaining to see how much money is involved with each team of any sport. Here is what the bracket would look like if the school with the highest basketball budget won each match-up of this year's NCAA Tournament:...
Would College Basketball Players Boycott the Final Four?
According to Jay Bilas, a boycott of the NCAA Final Four has been discussed by players in the past due to the lack of monetary compensation. "...[a boycott of the Final Four] has been discussed among players. And that is not some crazy notion. That's a fact. It's a fact that's been confirmed by...

March Madness 2016
It's that time of the year again. This season, it seems like there's a lot more parity among the field of 68 than in previous years. I'm not sure how my bracket will play out, but it's looking like the prevailing trend is picking Kansas and Michigan State to make the championship game. I definitely...

Any Manhattan Aggies watching the Texas A&M March Madness game tonight somewhere?
March Madness 2015
Thoughts on this year's field of 68? Kentucky is listed by at least one Vegas sports book at even money to win it all for the first time in at least 20 years. The seeding was a little odd to me. I don't like Oklahoma and Baylor as 3-seeds and I think Maryland deserved a 3-seed over one of them....
March Billionaire Madness
How is everyone's bracket faring after day 1 of the tournament? Well, for those of you who entered Quicken Loans's Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge , I hope the answer to that question is, "Absolutely perfect!" and not, "North Dakota State has a basketball team?" I'm a big fan of March Madness, both...

March Madness 2013 Craziness and Some Pool Strategies
My absolute favorite week of the year (BY FAR. More than Xmas, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving, Super Bowl, Festivus, whatever. Probably more than all those combined) is upon us. In approximately 12 hours the games will be underway. I've been getting crushed at work but am seriously considering...

The group is through Yahoo!, and given that plenty of...
How is this for an exit op?
March Madness is well underway. And after the first weekend, many brackets have been obliterated already. One of the great things about the NCAA tournaments are the stories that emerge as new star players and coaches are minted. This one really caught my eye and is a great tale for those considering...

Paying D-1 Athletes
ESPN published and article that the NCAA commissioner wants to pay ALL college athletes.. NCAA pushes increase for athletes People who claim that they are getting a free education clearly have never met or hung out with college athletes, few even go to class or if they do go to class it is within...
A WSO Cinderella Story
Saturday's always a great time for a story and what better story for young Wall Street kids on the come-up, than Cinderella. After all, when you spend 80 hours a week doing chores for the masters of the house you can identify with her storybook plight. For those of you who are sports fans, as well,...

March Madness Open Thread here. Lville, Murray St, and Kansas St won already. Wisky and Marquette up big. Cuse and UNCA in a close game late first half. Will they start to pull away or will UNCA continue to give them a good game?
March Madness
It's that time of year again. The teams are seeded, the brackets are published, and the country's attention turns to one of the most popular American sports tournaments. While I'm pretty ambivalent about basketball in general (and NBA basketball in particular - I much prefer college), I do get...

WSO March Madness Pool?
With so many WSO members, I'm kind of surprised no one proposed a WSO March Madness pool. Maybe we can set one up. Winner gets a bunch of silver bananas?
