March Madness seems more and more irrelevant each year huh?

Only thing that mildly interests me are Rangers vs Devils or Penguins vs Devils and maybe the World Series. I haven’t watched a basketball game in years. I haven’t watched a football game in years (including Super Bowl). I don’t care about colleges. I don’t like going to restaurants. I don’t like going outsides. I have chronic pain and perpetually am in a foul mood. |

Date: March 22nd, 2026 8:35 AM Author: richard clock NIL has destroyed college basketball. Not only are the kids mercenaries who dont develop a genuine connection with the schools, but now any mid major program who in the past would grow through developing diamonds in the rough will lose those players immediately to a bigger program. as a result, the gap between the large programs and mid majors has never been bigger and we are seeing very few upsets, so its not exciting.

Date: March 22nd, 2026 9:12 AM Author: zarathustra nil hurts at the hs recruitment stage b/c there's more incentive to go to a big $$ school instead of picking a smaller school to optimize for coach / style fit / playing time / location / whatever else. but more fluid transfer portal also helps non-marquee schools in the other direction because strong players who get stuck on the bench at tier one schools transfer down. super low seed upsets are freak random events and it's not crazy to go a couple of years without a ton of them, and anyways there have been 15 and 16 seed upsets in just the last few years.
cbb is less relevant because football-driven realignment eviscerated all the big east matchups that made up at least a third of the sport's most billable rivalries and also fucked up the acc. now when you look at the top 25 in a given week it looks more and more like the cfb top 25 because the b1g and sec and big xii are soaking up the talent due to this and nil. nobody in nebraska or illinois or alabama gives a shit nor do those programs offer any intrigue to the casual fan. also doesn't help that a bunch of historic coaches just retired or got marooned to irrelevant programs. |
