THE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS Yes, again, it's a bad day to be West Virginia. With the First Four tonight, the Mountaineers must be thinking that should have been them. West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey certainly feels that way. In a press conference that could only happen in the wild world of college athletics, Morrisey announced he and the state's attorney general will launch an investigation into the NCAA Tournament selection committee. Oh yeah, and "NCAA" stands for "National Corrupt Athletic Association." Morrisey called the snub a "miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest levels" and insinuated that North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham, the selection committee chair, was a reason the Tar Heels got in. (It should be noted that Cunningham, as is standard, wasn't in conversations regarding his school.) Yes, this was a real thing. Not a skit, not a parody. Real. The snub remains real, too. Matt Norlander called the reasoning for West Virginia not making the field "insane." Though I agree with him, neither he nor I will be launching an investigation.

Teams with .333 conference record. This should be the argument, not UNC. SEC is all too happy for the rest of peasants to fight for their scraps, UNC vs WVU.

E$ecpn is running the selection committee. No way, we #5 seed, Aubarn overall #1. Can't wait for all of them to lose.

After what happened to us 2 years ago, I have no sympathy for any team crying about not being the 72nd team in a 64 team tournament.

Like that 10 mins is the only time the members of these committees ever talk to each other. people and polls = BULLSHEET!!
Conference champs in.. the rest are out.. PERIOD!!! no polls.. no committees.

There's always someone to blame when things don't go the way you want

Most of us become adults and learn to deal with disappointment; the ones who don't go into politics.

The gov is being ridiculous. I know we all ‘hate’ UNC, but the committee got it right based on the net ranking (sounds like it is important). They also considered that WVU has a key injury. I’m ok with WVU being left out. They also didn’t even have 20 wins.
