SHOOTING LOW

*** Tiger Troubles - The NCAA dropped the hammer on the Memphis Tigers. Memphis must vacate their Final Four of 2008 , take down their banner,& pay back their tournament revenues.

The pay - back will hurt the most . The University must give back 617,000 dollars. I bet they do not have the money . Dollars are in short supply at the University these days.

Here is an ideal . Cal's bonus was 370,000 dollars . Since the accomplishments were vacated, Cal should pay that money back . If I were the University I would not hold my breath waiting on Cal to send the check .

*** Cinderella won't dance - A Cinderella will not win this tournament . I don't think a true Cinderella has ever won . The last time a team from a non- power conference has won was UNLV in 1990. The Rebels were a high seed going in ,so they can't be Cinderella .

The lowest seed to win the tournament was # 8 Villanova in 1985 . The Wildcats did not come from the lower half of the bracket . Close but no cigar .

Cinderella will never get to dance . You have to win 6 straight in upsets. The odds are about .004 %. Never happen !

*** Bowl Game Bucks - 68 of the 120 D-1 teams go to a bowl game . Why ? The money ! Bowl games make money 3 ways
1. Ticket Sales
2. TV Revenues
3. Title Sponsorships

Best of all bowls are tax - exempt . That means you get to keep all you make . There are way too many bowls & look for more to come . Until the rules are changed & the cash stops flowing , look for the Money Grab to continue .
