the Big Screw Job by the NCAA Committee

Hang on a second. Keep in mind that he's strictly referencing TV ratings...his business. The TV networks always want a Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Championship, etc., with large market teams. There's no such thing as a "large market" in college sports, but it sounds like (per an earlier post) the Big Ten and other traditional powers represent the closest thing.

As to whether this played a role in the selections by a supposedly neutral, and supposedly completely separate group, that's another matter. If so, all of our anger is probably better directed at the selection committee, not CBS.

So what? It's still a cruddy comment -
