Credit where it’s due
As "March madness"(soon possibly to be renamed "April madness" for accuracy purposes)is winding down to a close for another year, I suppose it would be appropriate to recognize some history made there by the oft-maligned NCAA.
For the first time since the institution of a postseason tournament to determine its' NCAA men's basketball champion, each of the top-seeded teams in the four regional sections made it all the way to the semifinal round, or to put it in the now standard vernacular, the "Final Four".
The NCAA has gotten its' share of criticism, deserved or otherwise, over the years for its' selections to the tournament, and in many years, the seemingly inevitable upsets demonstrate that maybe their basketball selection committee is not the most well-informed collection of "experts".
Occasionally, I have been one of those critics, so in all fairness, I've got to congratulate the NCAA on "getting it right" this year.
Maybe the positive encouragement can motivate them to do such a prescient job every year.
Or it's worth a try in any case...so here's a pat on the back to one of the favorite whipping boys of sports fans across this country...the NCAA. Keep up the good work, and maybe American sports fans might take you off their "list".
