I think we can all agree it was just a joke that didn't land and that everyone here has nothing but respect for the broads. Oh no, not again!

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Except there's no joke but casual misogyny. Why is that funny?

I love how we’ve debated over semantics for a page and a half regarding a question if anyone actually cares about the women’s tournament. I guess I know, in a very roundabout way, my answer now. Thanks!

I had to say it was a joke that didn't land to set up my joke, which is that the idea of using the word "broads" is stupidly funny. Dissectin' that frog

Nope, not semantics. Say women and not chicks. You know why there's a difference.

Can't you see how you're being juuuust a smidge ridiculous about this? Calling it "The chicks tournament" isn't even the most offensive thing I've said about women's college basketball IN THIS THREAD! 

 

My God, Dave. Get a smaller horse.

Nope. Didn't watch it because I don't like college basketball. However, it is possible to not care about something without being a dick about it. It takes more effort to put down women than not.

It’s also quite a bit easier to not be a sanctimonious :censored: about everything. But, here we both are ;)

Mississippi State has to feel like they've wasted two great opportunities. They beat UConn last year, but lost the National Championship game. They get a stroke of good fortune and avoid UConn in this year's tournament and lose the National Championship game.

The Rice Committee releases their report and it's basically empty, but has other ways for the NCAA to collect fees such as certifying agents and taking control of summer showcases as opposed to the AAU circuit aka, the "packet racket".

Quote

Buried on Page 10 of the much-heralded Rice Commission report on college basketball commissioned by the NCAA is the poison pill that makes all of this a waste of time: “The commission has decided to focus its recommendations on supporting the college model.”

 

Airball.

 

In other words, no real reform. Just another attempt to concentrate and retain control over collegiate athletics, and in this specific case basketball, in the hands of a privileged few, allowing them to make as much money off the backs of college basketball players as they can.

 

 The Rice Commission was given unlimited power to take on and address the issues surrounding college basketball. Its unwillingness to do that, to slap a new coat of paint on the same old flawed system, to partake in all the old tropes and rhetorical underpinnings of the NCAA's exploitative foundation, is not only a waste of time, it's an unconscionable waste of one of the rare openings when the tumblers of public and internal opinion clicked into place and real, tangible reform might have been possible.
