NC vs. Syracuse...what I noticed

Since the game itself was fairly boring, this is what I noticed:

--Interviews with "sports celebrities" on one screen while the game was on another screen? What's with that?

--Product logos on everything. And the game is about character and sportsmanship?

--Monstrous crowds the size of which you would never come close to seeing at an academic event or conference. What's a university about again?

--Way more time spent on video spots about NC than Syracuse. Balance?

--An NCAA ad about fairness and equality while NC, who cheated and abused the system for decades, plays for the championship.

--Video spots of the NC team photographed like heroic figures and strutting with silly props.

--Graphic logos being persistently and boringly being thrown at my eyes while announcers yak on endlessly.
