I’m in Indianapolis the next couple of days as part of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Mock Selection Exercise, in association with the United States Basketball Writers Association.
I was fortunate enough to be invited as one of 20 participants, including print media, internet media, conference administrators and broadcast analysts, including CBS Sports’ Clark Kellogg.
For the next day and a half, the NCAA will guide us through the process of selecting and seeding the NCAA Tournament, so that we can learn more about how the process works. We will do everything the committee does on selection weekend, from selections to seedings to placing teams at tournament sites, etc.
I’ll be blogging whenever I can, though today’s session is not scheduled to be completed until 9 p.m. tonight.
Check back for details, and reports.
Cool Beans!
Glad you were selected over Tipton…at least we know you will be conducting journalistic endeavors rather than just copying and pasting what others have done.
Congratulations Mr. Clay. I am sure this is a fantastic honor, and I really look forward to reading your reports to help us fans learn how the process works.
Have fun, and teach us all you can.
Go CATS!!!
Congratulations, John! That’s a big deal. I hope that you can provide us with lots of insight into the selection process by participating. Would be good to know what the general feeling is regarding UK, what region seems to make the most sense at this point and whether you are aware of any bias, pro or con, regarding Coach Cal and the Cats — without naming any names of course.
John, Congratulations ! And good for us. Looking forward to what you find out. And SO GLAD we’re relevant again ! GO BIG BLUE !
