Really glad that Yale pulled off the upset, their HC James Jones is a terrific guy (FIL is good friends with him, they went to Albany at the same time). And a great coach too, his teams finish top two in-conference with 20+ wins pretty regularly.

Nice effort by Flyers today. Had it down to 5 with 10 to play. AZ won it 78-68. UD had 4 Dayton area kids on the roster.
Kent women getting hammered at Notre Dame 49-30 at the half. Ball State and Toledo were the MACâs two best teams. Too bad.
In their two tournament games
First half Kansas: 92-81
Second half Kansas: 54-82 so far

So many of the âexpertsâ were saying this was a very off year for the Zags. Sadly, I believed them on my bracket.
Zags underperformed in noncon and early in conference but have been on fire since late January

Probably good for GCU that they lost that one. 20-25 win WAC team that occasionally makes the tournament as a 14 seed seems like the sweet spot for giving yourself an aura of legitimacy without drawing too much unwanted scrutiny. A Sweet 16 run is the kind of thing that would Streisand Effect yourself into a bunch of articles about how your whole university is basically just a massive fraud ring.

Twitter already gives them a lot of shit. Say what you want about the university but the basketball and its surrounding atmosphere is top notch

If your universityâs website needs an official FAQ about whether itâs a diploma mill, that says it all

I respectfully disagree. Our granddaughterâs parents and her grandfather checked out the place as well as we could. Our granddaughter is now enrolled in the school of nursing there. I believe it is all the rumors and innuendos that have caused the place to have a FAQ about their place in the academic world.
Hereâs a piece on what is just the most recent controversy involving GCU. It is not the first.
Canât argue that except to say it is a for profit place. What commercial or advertisement doesnât exaggerate in order to get consumers to buy their product. Still may have a good product but not as great or economical as promoted. It isnât as cheap as they say, what is?

I knew exactly what my bill would be at all 5 universities Iâve attended. Every semester. Down to the penny. This isnât a whoopsie, sorry your tuition isnât what we told you. Itâs malicious. You donât go to a restaurant and order a $15 meal and when the bill comes itâs $20, then say, well who doesnât charge more. Itâs an awful practice and the response sounds like a lot of copium. Student debt is awful as it is.

This is, I believe, all about false advertising in their doctoral program, correct? I am simply saying that there is not a thing wrong with their undergraduate program specifically the school of nursing. I am also glad that after 5 universities you can read a menu.
Best bracket ever!!!

FTC got involved in January. Iâm sure their on campus undergraduate offerings are probably solid. Their history makes them somewhat controversial - having started as a failing non-profit, being converted to a profitable for-profit and then converting back to a bit of a hybrid - deemed to be a for profit by the DoEd and a non profit for IRS purposes. Funding their athletics programs partially through the largess of nearly 100,000 online students will always be a bone of contention in sports, as it continues to be at Liberty.
I find the notion that schools call themselves ânon-profitâ is absolutely hilarious. Of course schools are âfor profitâ
