The College Athletics craze over the last 50 years after Title IV needs some desperate pruning....maybe the haves and NIL will demolish general funded sports to Intramurals for the have nots.

Everybody had to offer everything and then the craze to jump up to Division 1 status....everyone saw pots of gold in the 90s only to be handed pyrite.

The era of sports factories instead of Universities might be waning for those outside the 1-2 %ers....just like hosting the Olympics isn't worth it, supporting the albatross that became College Athletics and its gluttony was always a struggle and not worth it for most.

When you have to constantly gladhand alums and boosters to foot the bill for your sports programs, this unsustainable model built around Title IX and that house of cards was inevitably going to bubble over and then burst.

I always wondered how much Clark gave Eddie at the end for keeping him afloat with the last of his buried treasure... Eddie counts it forever but that could just be Eddie befuddled by a few hundred bucks.

Certainly wasn't $52,000 which Eddie described as "a little extra cash" when he asked Clark for money in Vacation. They should've given one of the cars to Cousin Vicky who hops rides with random dudes to her Pole dancing gigs (Griswolds don't need 4 cars when they have the Family Truckster waiting for their Honky lips at home).

Kinda felt Clark was cheap on them after his winnings like he was with the blue chicken and some of the yella.

Easily the least likeable version of Clark in all the movies.

I love trailers that are perfectly linear and chronological until the very end.

Mini-bags of Microwave Popcorn suffice for such movie experiences.

The SEC got a team to the Final. Congratulations....14 bids seems to be the manufactured way....that kinda Outlier?

No, no, no....stuffing the ballot box on Selection day will be the new norm for the SEC and Big10 at the expense of others....this is the two power conferences, flexing the odds in their favor.

The SEC and Big10 made up almost 35% of this years NCAA Tournament field.

The only other time it happened in the modern field of 64 was 2008.

Kansas
Memphis
North Carolina
UCLA

Kansas vs. North Carolina was the game where Kansas built a 40-12 lead and Billy Packer told everyone to turn their TV off.

Memphis easily beat UCLA.

But the Final was classic for Jayhawks fans.

If it is an All-SEC Final Four, the Committee will get backlash inviting 14 SEC teams to the Tourney....so many Lotto balls in the cylinder, you %-wise should hit the jackpot.
