Next Year Begins Tomorrow

I write this as the nation’s collegiate basketball championship game occupies our television. In 40 minutes- that will take roughly 2 hours of real time- a champion will be crowned.

Will it be perennial powerhouse Duke, even though they had a “down year” according to many talking heads?

Or will the upstart Bulldogs of Butler fuel the dreams of every mid-major team across the US?

Time will tell (and the score is pretty even after ~5 minutes of play), but at least we will have an outcome determined on the court.

If basketball had a BCS system, we would be watching Kansas vs. Kentucky right now.

Why can’t we do this for football?
