March madness

I know I’m treading on hollowed ground, but answer me these questions please.

(March Madness edition).

1. Why does everything have to be such a goddam spectacle?

2. Of all the silly questions the NCAA is using the Google Cloud to answer, why don’t they research violations in recruiting, grade manipulation and corruption?

3. Why is there so much bling in the sets, the titles, and the infographics and how much does all that cost?

4. Why does March Madness need an official hamburger?

5. Can someone give me $1 million, a support staff, a first class facility and money for recruiting?  Then I’ll guarantee a winning team of a dozen great young artists.

6. If you add up the salaries of all the coaches, the equipment and uniforms, travel costs, medical costs (the basics), then what is the cost to maintain each player?

7. What is the average scholarship paid to each basketball player compared to the average scholarship paid to each art student?
