    Every big business is corrupt.

    I watch the game and could care less about the money grabbing.

    Businesses are greedy, especially publicly owned companies that have a fiduciary duty to their shareholder to produce value. Corruption is not an appropriate word for business. Corruption relates to the use of an official position for personal gain and that is reserved for politicians and government officials. LOL

    Every big business is corrupt...nice way of justifying everything, I guess. Like 'all politicians are corrupt, so who cares if Trump conspired with the Russkies to rig the election?'

    I'm not "justifying" corruption. I love watching the passion and energy this tournament provides.

    It sucks that my watching the games puts money in the pockets of the wrong people, but it's a choice I make and will keep making.

    I love the game of basketball, and March Madness is the best!

    So then the NCAA is not corrupt.

    I feel better now watching it.

    I understand. I made a personal decision to not watch US college sports anymore. It's not just because of the money stuff. It's all the coverups of sexual assaults and the like by players that finally sealed it for me.

    That is a horrible thing, and it seems to happen everywhere, even at ND, where I attended.

    Just so long as Puke doesn't win the championship, I'm good.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    I'm the only one in my pool with 3 teams still alive.

    I have Duke beating Kentucky with VA winning tonight.

    If Duke beats KY, I don't even need VA to win.

    $240 on 49 entries at $5.

    I've won 4 brackets since my first one back in 1980-1981 (Isiah Thomas).

    Nice Moon. What's the payout?

    I had the following bets: $10 each on Tennessee (16:1), Kentucky (14:1), LSU (55:1), and Kansas (60:1). Also four $10 brackets, all busted. So pretty much Kentucky is my only hope left.

    Michigan and UNC messed up my bracket pretty badly. I’m technically in first still points wise. But I need Duke to win today, and I somehow need Auburn to upset Kentucky AND Virginia to prevent other people from getting the points for Kentucky making final 4, and Virginia making championship.

    At this point, I'm watching the women's tournament more than the men's. I'm blessed to go to a school that treats its female athletes equally to their male athletes. And of course, it's UConn in March.
