They're Alive!

The Kent State Golden Flashes should temporarily call themselves The Phoenix, because they have risen from the ashes. They didn't qualify for the NCAA tournament and were not included in the NIT. But wait folks, there's more. This year, we have the CollegeInsider.com tournament and Kent plays at Oakland(Rochester, MI) tomorrow at 7:00pm. Another chance to get that 20th win for the 11th straight season. Good luck.

Some of the games in this new competition will be televised by Fox Sports. Money makes the world go around. Maybe eventually, March madness will become the college version of the old Indiana high school system (Hoosiers) and all 347 Division I teams will get in and play until only one is left. H & R Block can start a side business doing brackets.

At least one state, West Virginia, still has that old system where the little schools and the big schools do battle for the state high school trophy.
