Strings were pulled for Indiana......and cost WVU a NCAA bid and its Head Coach.....

Look, the NCAA is corrupt and has no bounds.....and it is CLEAR to me, this is what took place.

Indiana and WVU were clearly more qualified for NCAA bids as at large teams and Indiana has an outgoing HC in Mike Woodson ...and Indiana knows playing in the NCAAs, just delays the inevitable end of season in a few days....but if by chance Indiana won 2 games (unlikely but not impossible as a possible 11 seed vs a 6......they could have been playing NEXT week, with a lame duck coach.

This is CLEARLY a sham....Indiana knew they wanted Devries from WVU as it's next HC AND the only way it could happen, would be if WVU did NOT make the NCAAs....so WVU, clearly with a resume to be in, was left out....so there wouldn't be a delay on WVU playing a game Thursday or Friday....OR possibly winning a game and extending this for Indiana beyond today.

So WVU gets hosed with no NCAAs AND, Indiana steals or gets the coach they wanted.....don't try and tell me strings weren't pulled this weekend behind the scenes, because it's too obvious now, this is what happened.....the last bids provided Sunday night made ZERO sense.....

Now WVU has to pivot, with no NCAA bid, a senator making news and asking an attorney general for an investigation into the NCAA and he has no clue that his state and program, were just part of a bigger situation WAY beyond his awareness level.....

Shrewd moves folks.....the next time someone tells me about a teams resume or Q1/Q2 nonsense....or anything else, save it.....the NCAA yet again let's us know they're open for business and if you have enough money or influence, you can get them to look the other way....

he has no clue that his state and program, were just part of a bigger situation WAY beyond his awareness level....The Senator? But you being who you are, They couldn't get this conspiracy pass you? This is what happens when you allow someone who nobody knows gets behind a key board. OMG!!

I think your conspiracy theory is a bit far fetched.

But that’s not to say that the NCAA is a complete sham and there is 100% bias that exist when picking the teams.

UNC got in when they clearly shouldn’t have and it just so happens that their AD heads the selection committee and gets a $70K bonus if they make the tournament and additional bonuses if they make the sweet 16 or better?…

That bonus thing is flat out contradiction of interest for leading the committee. NCAA has ZERO credibility. What a bunch of crap and they will continue to get away with this stuff.

Interesting points esp. since many though BOTH Indiana and WVU were last four in. BUT... too many strings and too many mouths would make this hard to do. The way for any BS to be avoided is TO NOT BE ON THE BUBBLE. I think Devries would be at Iowa today if either IU or WVU got into the dance. Your story makes sense; especially these days.

I thought I was in the middle of an Oliver Stone conspiracy movie as I read this

Almost all 'Conspiracies' that have been discussed (especially lately) have come true... those that control the narrative usually take facts and meld them into conspiracy theories. It's a brilliant way to marginalize anyone that doesn't agree with the order of things :)

Not gonna lie, Indiana somehow keeping West Virginia out so they can get their coach before the portal opens definitely crossed my mind.

wtf man. Why throw politics into this thread?

'follow the science' he says. haha.. don't worry about USAid... lemurs

has this thread made it to message board genuises yet

I have to say that I love that their governor called out the NCAA. It would have been great if we had the same support when we were screwed out of the tournament a year ago, when virtually EVERYONE had us in the field.

The governor of WV is an RU alum and I believe a letter winner in tennis. He lived in my dorm one year on college ave.

Did he serve Aces or double fault a lot? Just wondering.

From my personal experience, I am going with double fault. 😂

West Virginia governor attacks NCAA ‘robbery’ after WVU excluded from March Madness

Patrick Morrisey says his state will launch an investigation over how teams were picked for this year’s NCAA Tournament

www.theguardian.com

This is why people hate the government. An investigation over an NCAA bid. How do some of these people ever get elected?

might be a good reason to make a federal case out of it and have Congress investigate how they do

[RU848789]

even Rachel Maddow Sean Hannity passed on this conspiracy theory

FIFY.

 

[ScarletDave]

the simple explanation is that they MAGGED WVU who hadnt won a meaningful game for almost 3 months

Bubba put the thumb on the scales and as usual the ACC got an extra team with a marginal profile

Indiana didnt get it because quite frankly their resume sucked too...nothing out of conference and only 2-9 vs field and not passing any eye test

This. Lets not forget this is an INVITATIONAL tournament, it didn’t have to be “fair” otherwise they would just use NET/RPI and call it good. The “committee” and drama, etc. is all part of their fun and games. It’s a “club”
