Six of the 11 selection committee members have zero basketball background, yet they decide what teams make the NCAA Tournament. The major controversy was UNC AD Bubba Cunningham being on the committee and receiving a bonus because the Tar Heels made the tournament despite a 1-12 "Quad 1" record whereas a team like West Virginia had a 6-10 record. Should college basketball reevaluate the selection process?
Marc Daniels: "Should sitting ADs and conference commissioners be on this committee? Should basketball move to a little bit more of what college football has done? We've got former players, we've got former coaches...Should we reevaluate the selection process."
Mark Wise- "Absolutely! There has to be coaching representation in my opinion on the selection committee. It's almost a badge of honor to be on the committee."
Mark also discusses the NCAA Tournament itself and defends the fact that 14 of 16 SEC teams made the dance.
