its just weird to me how clearly biased the refs often are in favor of one team or the other
in the ACC, for example, they seem to favor the carolina schools...and legacy acc teams
in the NCAAT, they tend to favor the underdogs/"no-names"
in general, home teams get a huge boost, too
i just wonder why all of that is necessary. i guess it all goes back to profits and ratings...but for me, it undermines the product significantly...so the juice isnt worth the squeeze
and ive watched enough NCAABB to convince me that this impartiality does happen and isnt coincidental.
im genuinely curious about the behind the scenes aspect of it and the psychology of the decision making to side with certain teams or types of team - it feels like its been decided for some reason.
but yeah ... really isnt any benefit from complaining about it...i guess
either stop watching or accept it, right??
Its all sports entertainment! I never forget that. Now that doesn't mean the players are WWE actors that are in on it. It simply means the organizations are all about maximizing the number of eyeballs.
