D___ it, Skylar.  You're just trying to ruin my day.

I couldn't believe what you wrote, so I looked it up.  Sure enough,
depending on who you want to believe, either the NCAA is considering a
68 or 96 team basketball tournament, or they've already decided and
its a fer-sure thing.  If its true that they will have a 96 team
tournament, that means on average your team will have a 1 in 3 chance
of making the post season ("only" 300+ division one schools field
basketball teams).  Geez, if they expand the NIT, then it could go up
to as high as a 1 in 2 chance.

For the Huskers, we're tourney bound.  Every year!!

For basketball, college basketball becomes even less relevant.  And
more pointless.

For football, I may be in league with Skylar and never wish such a
mess on college football.
