“BracketBusters cause trouble for mid-majors, more Bubble Watch” – SI.com (by Andy Glockner)

Thanks for the link. I agree with him. Here is some excerpts:
My biggest annual complaint with BracketBusters is that the games between the best teams are set for TV purposes and/or geography rather than what most helps the teams in their quest for NCAA tournament bids. Generally speaking, the games become net losses for the mid-majors, with the losing team often being hurt (or completely KO'd) more than the winning team gains in profile cred.
.......Wichita State gets a complete no-win trip to Davidson, a very good team that probably won't garner an at-large even with a win while a loss will ding the Shockers.....
........I'm all for mid-majors getting national showcases and I think the overarching premise of BracketBusters is a good one. But until teams aren't hurt for losing games to good teams and the pairings beyond the first game or two make sense for more teams involved, the event will remain BracketEliminators to me.

Glockner was one of the actual paid analysts to absolutely tear apart the BB selections. He was very opinionated on Twitter when it was going down.Comment
