Kentucky is good.
Stephen F. Austin is a solid team. Have them over Utah.
BYU is also a really good team. Wouldnt be surprised if they make a run.
Also I have only done the ESPN one. Anyone got a list of sites that do contests?
Almost every site that has something to do with sports does. All the major and local networks do it, yahoo does it, and probably any betting or fantasy website too.
This goes here....
A lot of bs here. Yes the NCAA makes billions off of football and Basketball. And All that money is used to pay for the 44 women's sports, and 42 men's sports in Division 1 , 2 and 3.
Think about that. I have been an athlete for a short time at the NCAA level and have worked in a college athletic program. Both Programs I was associated with lost money because of their athletic program. ANd the only program that brought in any money what so ever where the Men's Basketball team. That money , and the money they got from the ncaa accounted for over 60 perent of the the athletics budget. Without ncaa money there would be no college athletics.
As far as feeling sorry for the college scholarship athletes who aren't getting paid, let's discuss what they are getting. It is estimated at the school i worked for that over a 4year period for a sholarship athlete with, tution, boarding, tutoring, it was estimated that total expenses for the athlete ranged from aboundt80-120 thousand dollars a year. And to be honest that is a conservative estimate. That is much better than anything they would be getting right out of high school
Now factor in that 80 percent of these kids wouldn't even be in college if it weren't for athletic scholarships. So they are by no means getting the raw end of the deal here.
THe ncaa is not a perfect system, but without it there would be no one to finance college athletics. Two sports finance all of the ncaa that is the problem.

So much wrong with this post, especially because you believe the bold is the probalem with the NCAA.
