Congrats to Duke and Other Random Thoughts

This is a little late but congratulations to the Duke Blue Devils and Coach K on yet another NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. And while we're at it nice job by the Butler Bulldogs on their improbable run to the championship game. I think this is as good a finish to a championship game as I can recall in quite a while. For that matter the whole tournament was outstanding. I have been watching it for years and I don't remember one better than this.

Now, having said that why would the NCAA want to go and spoil what is arguably the best sporting event of the year? The talk of adding 32 more teams will only dilute the field for a week. But, the bottom line is money and the NCAA would sell it's own soul if it had one. So, in reality we are looking at a 96 team tournament next year.
