I love how people idolize college players. Do you realize that they pay to go play? That the colleges are raking in money like nothing you've ever seen because of these guys? These people are paying the school so the school can use their name and make even more money. Something is seriously messed up with our system.

Ranting done for the day. Sorry to kill the mood.

Yeah they're paying, actually they're probably on scholarships for basketball. The fact that they're playing and not getting big bucks (like the guys in the NBA) shows a love for the game. Yes, most of them wanna play in the NBA but at the college level there is more love for the game. I personally don't like college sports that much but you come on here just to try to ruin our fun? What is this second grade, cool kid?

No. They're going to school by their own choice and playing basketball because they want to and 90% of them are doing it for free.

What's messed up is people getting indignant about things they don't understand.

Edit: I guess it's pretty safe to assume that thecheesebrain312 is DavidWoner. And only partially because his brain is made of cheese.

I entered. I expect to lose. I always go too upset heavy, but I think I'm okay this year.

 

[Kyle Barry]

I'm in, as well. My team is the Monstars.

Yeah, damn those evil colleges using slave players that they treat so poorly. Giving scholarships to kids who, in most cases, would otherwise have 0 chance of attending a decent college. And trying to make money, gasp.

These allegations are entirely untrue. It's common knowledge that I am Kian (bracket name Team Kiester XXXV) and I am very offended by this mister thecheesebrain312, whomever he may be.

I can attest to this, Kian, my brother, hadn't even heard of basketball until I explained it to him last night.

I have never been more disappointed in you. EVER, until this point. You are so wrong in so many ways. :fp, to the epic level.

First, most college athletes get full scholarships to play. At least in basketball and football, the two revenue sports that keep the rest of the sports going. Now yes, I think the NBA and NCAA are colluding to rob some really good players a chance at skipping college to go to the pros, because that year is worthless, and really it is a criminal rule. But the players are getting room and board for their troubles of training for the NBA (John Wall, Derrick Favors, etc.) or playing some ball and getting an education. I think that sounds fair for many players.

Yes, there is something wrong with our system, but as my AP US History teacher would say, "Add something true to what [] said." Your argument is seriously flawed.

 

[ajmorgan25]

I'm in. My lack of college basketball is also there too.

 

[DavidSanders]

I joined, but I barely picked any upsets in the first round, maybe 3. Is it all right if my dad joins if he wants to? He knows a lot more about college basketball than I do, and would put up a better run against you guys.

 

[Kian]

Uh oh, PJK.

 

[ajmorgan25]

Ha. Vandy. Man.

 

[Evan Liu]

Ha. Vandy. Man.

Wow I'm doing a lot better than I expected haha. Hooray for Old Dominion and UW. I almost died watching the BYU game.

And on a final note, Villanova needs to get their act together.

 

[Kian]

REALLY GEORGETOWN? REALLY?!?

This is what we get for picking teams Rutgers beat this year.

 

[Alex DiTuro]
