Get used to it…. with the NIL ridiculousness we’ll start seeing the same 4 to 12 schools in the Final Four every year… bought and paid for.
Jay, this isn’t that, and it’s really nothing new.
Since 1995, the same 12 teams have been made it more than half of all Final Four spots, and 3/4ths of those Final Four teams went twice. The top 5 conferences made up over 80% of spots, and the 1-Seeds make it nearly half of the time. Four 1-seeds would be expected to happen every 35-years or so, but twice in the 46-years they’ve had seeds isn’t anything crazy.
So – this year’s outcome isn’t that unexpected, and doesn’t mean anything different is happening in the sport than usual.
