	McGee hold neither of the records -- both were surpassed by Glen

I don't know if this has been remedied or not, but one of the big `beefs'
that many schools had with the NCAA in years past was that the 4 Final Four
teams got monster $, while the other 60 teams (not counting those who didn't
make it) got jack-squat.  Two years ago I believe it was something on the order
of $1.4M for each F-four team, but I'm not sure what it is now.  There was
a dramatic dropoff after those four payouts.

Supposedly, the basis of the complaint was that if only the four best teams
got so much, while the rest got so little, it would encourage everyone
to cheat in order to make the F-four.  I dunno.  What I do know is that
for all of the college football games on TV, gate receipts from football,
basketball, and other assorted sports, the NCAA still derives 80% of all
its revenue from ONE item : the TV rights to the basketball tournament.
You can bet it will bend over backwards in any way it needs to to keep
that coming.

  I wish somebody from Texas would answer this. I have been away for
  two years. They hadnt started hating him when I left (neither did I..).
  For that matter, I don't hate him even now.. I just think he has some
  weeknesses as a coach. And I see recruiting problems for him in the
  future. He also seems to whine too much, like he did last year when
  the Texas AD turned over Dexter Cambridge to the NCAA (some 
  inappropriate money deal).

KSU will be lucky to win 3 conf games.  They'll probably end up 13-13 
overall heading into the Big8 tourney.  OKSt, Colo and IowaSt will
battle it out for the next three spots.  ISU has more potential, but
hasn't shown it yet.  The others will be top teams.

Southwest Missouri State made the final 4 - so they cleared out everybody
in their path.  Mississippi was ranked No. 5, Penn State No. 9 when the two
met, so Penn State wasn't even favored to win.  Same with Pudue/Maryland.
Maryland was ranked higher...Purdue wasn't favored to win.

This is an interesting theory, but has it been supported by evidence?

Did Indiana's win in 1976 over Michigan ruin their rivalry?  How about
Villanova over Georgetown in 1985?  Or Kansas over Oklahoma in '88 (or

So instead JJ gets a 1 year deal for $000,000 and Dallas loses 
their draft choice.  They should pick him again next year just
out of spite.

	It's the rather well-known computer rating system that USA Today
	publishes every Wednesday.  It's probably as valid as anything
	else, but early on it's probably got more strange rankings than
	it will later because there's not that much data in the system

	as Ohio State being 7th...
