Yep. There's even more to it than that. In football, you have the serious factory schools that generally win it all.

In hoops, you can have a Gonzaga, a small school in freaking Spokane Washington, not even in a major conference. And they can play with anyone. You have Nova, a small school in Philly. Even Duke, when you get right down to it. An outstanding academic institution, about 60% of its enrollment is grad students, and they play in a gym that seats fewer than Manley Field House used to. Say what you will, and they are certainly a perennial power, but it isn't remotely like the insanity of a Bama for football.

Sure, these schools make $$$ from hoops. But the whole approach is light years different from the factories of the football powers.

I'll probably tune in to part of the NC game. I won't watch much of it though. Oh boy; a replay of the SEC championship game. It means sooo much to me (voice dripping with sarcasm). When it comes to bowls, I watch SU (on those rare occasions...) plus the undergrad and grad alma maters of my sons. I may watch 5 minutes here and there of other bowls if I am flipping between channels, but there are too many, the Pawnee Li'l Sebastian Bowl or the Mt. Pilot Barney Fife Bowl or whatever simply hold no interest for me.
