Elite 8 Game Times?

Can't wait for that drive home after we win the 7:30pm game on Sunday. At least we'll have Final 4 sweet thoughts to keep us awake for that drive back. :v_SPIN:

Things change. It's a fact of life. You might want to just accept it.

I know, and they all change for the sole purpose of making more money. Ive accepted it, doesnt mean that I like it.

I hope these games are earlier on Sunday. My god, I have 7-hour drive back east after the game on Sunday(lose an hour too).

Can't be. The NCAA is a non-profit association.

Yes it matters, I like tradition.

I dont like 2 hour selection shows for the purpose of forcing viewers to watch in an attempt to make more money. I dont like clowns from the NBA trying to comment on college games they know nothing about. I dont like 68 teams instead of 64 in an attempt to add 4 more at large teams to get viewers for the play in games.

And I especially don't like turning to CBS for the national title game, which Ive done for my 30 years of watching college basketball and find out its now on TBS who does absolutley no college basketball games the entire season.

I also think its funny when Fox bought the rights to the BCS bowl games a few years back after covering exactly zero college football games all season.

I actually agree with all of this except the channel of the game. I don't care what channel it's on.

The two hour selection show was a joke. First time since I was a wee tyke that I shut it off after 1/2 hour. Reveal the bracket, then analyze the games.

The 68 teams thing drives me crazy. Do the 16 seeds that have to play in a play-in game really feel like they were a full participant in the tourney? Saying "we lost by two to Florida Gulf Coast in Dayton" isn't a tell your grandchildren type story. Saying "when I was in college, I played against Duke and Coach K" IS an awesome story even if you got beat by 40.

I don't care if conferences split and they didn't want to eliminate at-large berths. Get rid of them. Play-in games are dumb, dumb, dumb.
