More questions (for Keith and anyone else in the know):
 
	* who sets the selection criteria? I am not complaining about
	  them, I am just curious.
 
	* When are the criteria set?
 
	* Who picks the committee? When?
 
	* In past years, some committee members have resigned at some
	  point before the final seedings, because their teams were
	  invovled. Does anyone know when this happened, at what
	  stage in the process, and who? Was this a rule, or just
	  high ethical standards on the part of committee members?
 
	* How much is the NCAA as an organization involved in the
	  tournament? Do they provide support people? expertise?
	  publicity?
