Hey there, it's Gary Parrish. It's Thursday September 5, 2019. Welcome back to the CBS Sports

Eye on Comic Basketball Podcast where we sometimes discuss camera fighting and leaky

black Matt Norlander is here with me. We're near in the end of our annual Candid Coaches

series. I hope you've been keeping up with that at CBS Sports dot com. There's been three

questions that have published since we last recorded an episode of the Iron College

Basketball Podcast. Those questions are a, what's your number one issue with the selection

process for the NCAA tournament? B, do you support an Olympic style model for college

athletics that would allow student athletes to profit off of their name, image, and likeness

and C, what team do you think will win the 2020 NCAA tournament? If you follow this

at all, you know, what we do is ask more than 100 college coaches, these questions. We

take the answers, we added all up and then we publish the results. So, Norlander, let's

take these one by one, starting with the one I mentioned first. Were you surprised by

the leading answer to the question, what is your number one issue with the selection process

to the NCAA tournament? The answer we got most 32% of the time was that there seems to

be mid-major discrimination. It is harder than ever to get an at-large bid from outside

of the traditional power structure. I thought something along those lines was going to

be the winner GP that wound up being the case. Now, this was, to me, I loved this question

for the responses I got back. With what you sent me, what I had, I had the massage, a couple

of answers into a couple of genres here. We'll note that 10% of the coaches we pulled

said I got no issues. Coaches loved to bitch just a bitch for bitching sake. So, hey, listen,

to the ones that said no issues, more to you, but I still think that this process can still

be enhanced and proved upon. A lot of the coaches we spoke with obviously voiced that.
