Like the Big East did. Here, he can just copy this. I'd go scorched Earth. I think we've reached this point. This is every year now with the ACC and MWC.
"We would like to congratulate UNC, Duke, Clemson, and NC State on their advancement to the Sweet 16. The ACC has proven time and time again in the NCAA Tournament that it is the best basketball conference in the country. Our 8-1 record thus far further proves that point. While other conferences are deliberately gaming the NET to maximize bids and continually perform very poorly when it counts year after year, the ACC continues to prove that games in March are won on the court, not in computers. While we have great respect for the tournament committee, it was a serious error this year to omit a Pitt team that finished 4th in our league and was playing some of the best basketball in the country the last 2 months. And while Wake Forest seemed to be further away, I have no doubt that they were a better basketball team than many of the teams who were selected. The fact that 3 of their November losses came before one of their best players gained eligibility proves this.
Unfortunately, these teams did not get to represent the league and although we have continued to prove that we play the best basketball in the nation, we will have to look at different ways to ensure that our teams have the computer numbers that the committee looks for because it has become clear that the computers have become a far more important measure of a team than actually watching teams play."
