We are once again staring at the beginning of March Madness in the face.  A time of year when brackets are made to be busted.  College basketball teams vie for their right to compete for the national championship, and along with millions of other basketball fans, we watch to see who’s going to make it and who will be left to end their season playing for that prestigious NIT crown.  Earlier this week, an unlikely win in the Horizon League Final sent a Cleveland State (I know what you are thinking.  ‘Cleveland ain’t no state.’  Well, neither is Ball.)  dancing, as they say, and with the upset, said Horizon League will be represented by two members, CSU and Butler.  Now, do I think Butler was in on trying to boost the League’s image with two representatives?  Well, I’m no Mel Gibson, but I do smell something fishy.  I digress.  Now today, Kansas, the Jayhawks of Kansas, lost to lowly Baylor University.  This isn’t too troubling since Baylor still has a way to go before they are deemed tournament worthy; however, in an effort to prevent any other activity that might limit the overall number of at large bids (due to the higher ranked teams in respective conferences being upset in the league tournament), I would like to strongly suggest that those who are supposed to win the tournament do so (with the exception of the SEC of course in which case the scenario I would like to play out would actually void the reason for this entire argument altogether).  It’s just common courtesy folks.
