Twitter: RT @slmandel: Do you think the whole 96-team scare was just an NCAA ruse so that we’d celebrate, not complain, about 68? If so, well played, NCAA.
Twitter: RT @slmandel: Logistically, it would have been near-impossible to go to 96 with one year’s notice. My guess is it happen in ’12
Twitter: RT @aglock It’s the same bribe non-BCS football teams took to get extra meaningless BCS bowl. Some cash for their screwage. @midmajority
Twitter: Re: 68-team tourney and “play-in ghetto,” @midmajority points out that mids will get 3 more win shares now. True. All about the Benjamins.

Twitter: RT @midmajority: Today is a day of great celebration and relief. Now who wants a quadruple serving of P.I.G.?!
Twitter: Test tweeting from “new” phone. It’s a Sanyo 8200, so technically a downgrade — but unlike the 8300, it can tether! 🙂 No Gmail app, tho.
Twitter: NCAA expands to 68, not 96, at least for now. All current #16 seeds, and 3 of 4 current #15s, go to playin games. Low-majors screwed. Again.
Twitter: Oh good lord. Heaven save us. RT @ABC: VP Biden on @theviewtv. VP’s proclivity for candor + View ladies’ random Qs = potential for great TV.
