It's NCAA Tourny time. Three great weeks of college basketball players providing one many shining moments. There is much to to get excited about. But first, let's not forget that there are more than few "self anointed incorrigible cynics" who continue to focus on the negative aspects of college sports. Yahoo!'s Dan Wetzel writes about the hypocrisy. It's March Madness, so you know we're going to hear from some of the stark, raving mad members of the Drake Group. Here's Drakie Allen Sack wondering whether college athletes should be paid. And I still remember my friend wasting my time last year one trying to convince me that amateurism is a myth.
I wish people would stop complaining about how unfair the system is for college athletes and focus on the wonderful moments of March Madness. Forget what the mainstream media says. Stephen Colbert, surely a more credible journalist, once said: "The NCAA basketball tournament has everything I like: corporate sponsorship, unpaid labor and blind partisan allegiance." Amen!
Here are my Tournament predictions:
Final Four
UNC
Kansas
Michigan St.
UCLA
And UCLA beating UNC in the Championship game. And Dick Vitale will somehow convince Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo and Kevin Love to all return for their Sophomore seasons. Anyone want to bet that I am wrong?
