Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 1982049, member: 527"] As I said for weeks, this is a "made for TV tournament" and not a tournament/Final 4 of the best teams or most deserving teams. The midwest, the Big 10 chunk of the country has a ton of TV sets that the committee wants as many of on for their games as they can get. They want to as they say in the business "light up" the midwest and Big 10 Country. That's where the $$$$$$ is!! With the northeast being dead for college football the next best area of the country is the Midwest and Big 10 country. Historically its where they get their biggest ratings and most eyeballs on the sets. The committee and ESPN are in this to make money, how do they make the most money...get as many Big 10 teams in the Final Four as possible. People look at these things like a "sport" and not as a "TV Show" and a "Business" that is truly is and always will be going forward. [/QUOTE]
