Pardon me, but I fail to see what a war in Iraq has to do with the
tourneys, except for possible TV time motivation. It would certainly
curtail attendance and decrease those big $$ for the NCAA. Call me naive
(but don't call me Shirley :-) but why should athletic events change for
this war, unless some unforeseen event happens.
