Rojo: how could the Princeton Undergraduate Admissions Office admit a kid who would never learn to spell, never learn English grammar, never learn basic arithmetic and never go on to get a job just because his daddy is rich and is the prep school and frat sidekick of the moron W? Shouldn't that place have gone to a hard working, smart kid without power connections?

Your outrage is humorous considering that you are the poster child for power conference status quo.

Also, for someone who watches a lot, an awful lot, of TV, you are woefully uninformed. There has been a story about the undefeated Princeton women on TV every day for the past month.

rojo sez - "i resemble them remarks. gettin in to princtin ain't not bout how goods me kan spel n wright n kount. it be bout how fat that their wallit in my pappys pants is. and ise gots better thangs to do wit my time than gettin a stinkin job. i be sik n tired o how them their intellektuels be makin fun of i and that they're bruther o mine fur bein dum. us ain't dum!!!! us be kolleg granulates"

Rojo, the only difference playing more games makes is $$$. Okay, and maybe a boost to recruiting. Princeton doesn't need either one. Their seeding doesn't matter.

Of course the little guy gets screwed by the NCAA. That is what this whole past year has been about.

The Big 5 conferences are seeing that even with all the new facilities and treating these guys like kings, the little guys (smaller schools) are still able to knock some of their teams off in bowl games and NCAA tournament games. Ex. TCU, Baylor, Appalachian St. Wichita State, Butler, Creighton, etc.

How does the Big 5 regain their absolute recruiting advantage? Pay athletes cash. The little guys will never be able to afford that, at least at the level of the Big 5, the recruiting table flips drastically in favor of the Big 5. Game over for the little guy every landing a potential NFL or NBA player.

Too funny!!!

POY!!! PODecade!!!!

No it should not 'might as well be'.

I thought this was LETSRUN not LETSDRIBBLE. But I could be wrong.

You drinking heavy on a Wednesday night, rojo? Lay off the sauce a little and go hug your wife. Take a chill pill.

Rojo,

It's an interesting seeding, for sure, and there is some valid discussion to be had leaving out some of the extreme comments from both sides. Still, here's a story that might lift your spirits...a win for Princeton isn't impossible.

Rojo,

I understand that you are a fan of your alma mater's team, but you have to be realistic. Princeton, and no schools in their Ivy League conference (as you know) give athletic scholarships. Likely 5 deep in a big power conference would destroy Princeton's women's team.

8 is about right. 7 maybe, but no higher than that. If they are all that, they can beat anyone they play, right?

Finally, no one cares about women's basketball.

The NCAA tourney is for one thing only. To determine the best basketball team in the nation. The best basketball team can beat all other teams on any day. Thats the logic behind single elimination tournaments. It makes for exciting games and exciting tv. If they went to a system like baseball it would be more fair, but not as exciting. When you understand this and realize that the teams who win in the first round aren't necessarily the best 32 teams in the nation, the team who loses in the final might only be the 3rd best team in the nation, etc. it makes a bit more sense. I hope we do see some 16 seeds beat one seeds or a 14-16 win the tourney one day, but its not a fair tournament because its goal is to only produce a winner, not a ranking of teams from 1-64.

Women's basketball is a terrible sport with zero parity.

Got it?

Good.

PS--With an 8 Seed, the AH's at the seeding committee gave the RPI 12 team the 30th+- best seeding.

Who gives a shiX about Women's Basketball you ask? Coaches, recruiters, conference leaders of that sport, athletes, fans of Women's B Ball, HS Studs thinking about which school to go to. Just because it's not as big as Men's does not mean it's irrelevant.

You sound like one of those guys who only give a shiX about their own world.

It's supposed to be about education . . . .

Huh?

Can't believe I'm on the second page and no one has mentioned Duke being the third #1 seed in the men's tournament....hard to justify that as anything other than a TV stunt.

Only in the realm of basketball and sports can Princeton be considered "the little guy." The Man is always sticking it to the Ivy League elites!

They didn't play a single team in the top 25. The rest of the Ivy league has a cumulative losing record. They were seeded where they deserve. If they want to get respect, EARN it! Schedule tougher non-conference opponents. Upset the 1 seed. etc.
