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? --david
