As we all know, UNC won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship on Monday. Congrats!
We should also congratulate Penn State, for winning the NIT Championship and being the unofficial 66th best team! Congrats!
We should further congratulate Oregon State, and President Obama's Brother-in-law (who is the coach) for winning the College Basketball Invitational and being the unofficial 98th best team (after the 65 in the NCAA and the 32 in the NIT).
However, to even my surprise, another post-season tournament was started this year... the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. They have a really large "selection committee" that includes Lefty Driesell, Jim Phelan, and Nolan Richardson (all former coaches). Anyways, we should congratulate Old Dominion for winning on the road at Bradley and being the unofficial 114th best team (after the 65 in the NCAA, the 32 in the NIT, and the 16 in the CBI).
Clearly, it has become very easy for the NCAA to approve new tournaments... I just hope they draw the line somewhere. I can't imagine there's much motivation for the players, coaches, or the fans in the 4th-tier (or lower) tournament.
