Davidson students get free trip to Sweet 16

Alas, I think it ends tomorrow night.

 

The 6 o'clock SportsCenter had an interview with the 13-year-old kid who has one of two perfect brackets in the ESPN tournament challenge.

He picked Davidson to win the whole thing. I'd love to see that, but I doubt it will happen.

 

Could he collect the $1 million if he's correct with a perfect bracket? I thought the winner needed to be above the age of 18.

 

I have them going to the elite eight, but I'm now regretting that as I don't see them getting past Wiscy.

 

Good for Davidson. Better for the hardy students willing to make the journey.

The implication is just as strong as the story ... you're not suddenly some lout who doesn't care about classes or education because of going on a road trip.

And dreunc, kudos to your fellow supporters for helping them along in the stands during the games. Class move.

 

Did anyone catch the kid's interview on ESPN? He said followed college basketball mostly out of the newspapers and some online, since he didn't have TV. Take that, Internets.

 

Unless I'm mistaken, they're not perfect brackets -- they've just got the right final 16. I think they each missed a bunch of first-rounders.

 

They each missed like 3 first round games. Thats it. Fucking unbelievable. Every year there is some smartass that calls 99% of the games.

 

Then they'll get riddled by bullets in Detroit.

$385 million endowment or not, it's a nice gesture by the school. You think for 41K a year they'll travel nice?

 

That is sweet to read that. Props to Davidson. Take that you pompous-ass big school hypocrites. You have enough money to send your big money boosters, and then tell your students to go fuck themselves and find their own way to the Sweet 16.

 

It's actually some of the members of the college's board of trustees that are putting up the money for the trip, not the college itself

 

Nice....
And for 41 large a year, they need to be chartering a plane
