      Apparently, the Big 12 has the weakest nonconference schedule in all D1 basketball. They are doing this to boost their net ranking. Interesting …

      Sounds like they’re smart. You can’t be doing something wrong and still get 9-10 teams in the tournament.

          What Madoff was doing = illegal

          What big-12 is doing = not illegal

            Lmao no s**t. The implication is that there are two ways to look at wrong. something that’s suboptimal in terms of trying to reach a goal and something that you probably shouldn’t be doing. The law technically factors into neither though it should respect and even define the latter simply as it relates to the function of society.

            Should conferences be gaming schedules? If so, do you view it as right simply because it isn’t illegal? Something that is “correct” in terms of reaching a goal and something that is “wrong” in terms of morals is unfortunately often the same thing.

      Late-season posturing from teams worried they won’t get an invite.
