Looks like Huggy and Underwood just swapped spots. Was Huggy at 4, 3G at 5, and Underwood at 6. Now Underwood at 4 and Huggy at 6."You Don't Have to Play a Perfect Game. Your Best is Good Enough."Comment

Maybe Infinite should do a review about how they do this charity campaign. Obviously, they want their charity dollars to do them the most good as well, but it's becoming a Big Ten Event.
The first year, only 14 schools were involved and Donovan of Florida won. Then they changed to the current format. Years 2-4 all went to Ohio St Matta's choice of charity. Last, Purdue's Painter won. This year, the top three spots are all Big Ten - Michigan, Ohio St, and Purdue. How about if a school wins, they lay out a year. If they win twice, they lay out 2-3 years. The whole purpose of this would be to help charities throughout the US, not just one geographical area.
40 of the 48 schools are from the P-5 and Big East (yes, I get the biggest bang for Infiniti's charity buck). So far, 20 schools have not gotten even 1% of the vote. 18 are P-5 and BE schools. Should these schools even be involved again? Maybe they should lay out for 2-3 years if Infiniti wants to continue this. To me, it would be embarrassing to have my school plastered on that list for that long for the whole world to see. Infiniti would be doing them a favor. This would also allow for other schools to get involved.
Lastly, this is for charities!!! Maybe a revision on how the funds are divided are in order. I believe Infinite has had the same pot amount for the last 5 years ($349,000 I think). I also understand having a $100,000 dollar grand prize makes for a nice splash. Hopefully, they could up the total pot, keeping the grand prize the same, but spreading an additional $100,000 among the other charities/schools involved. Infiniti donates over $700,000 to Coaches vs Cancer and this is fantastic!! Maybe coaches in this challenge could pick other local charities other than Coaches vs Cancer. I also don't care to much for coaches' own foundations getting the funds unless this money is directed back into their community.Comment

I agree. In fact, 2 years ago I e-mailed ESPN about that with a suggestion on how they might divvy the funds up. My suggestion was mostly about spreading the Final 4 money ($145,000 ) out a bit more evenly. Something like 1st - $65,000; 2nd - $40,000; 3rd - $25,000; 4th $15,000Originally posted by ShockTalk View Post
I received no response and obviously it hasn't been changed.Comment

Well, in addition to the $1,000 they give to the 24 charities whose sponsoring coaches drop at the end of Round 1 they do give out a participation trophy to those coaches so there is that.Originally posted by pogo View PostComment
