It's that time of year again!

March Madness is upon us! The nation is ready to plunge into utter panic! It's time to organize that office pool, crunch the RPI's, SOS', Winning %'s, and Conf. Play and make an attempt to pick "the perfect bracket."

That's why the CBI is the place to be....

C.B.-WHAT?!?!?!

That's right, ladies and gents; The College Basketball Invitational is the NCAA's latest excuse to allow "just a few more teams to have a post season." This year's inaugural tournament features the amazing stylings of teams such as Valparaiso University, Old Dominion, the Ivy league love Brown, and even the fabulous University of Utah! This 16-team tournament looks to be filled with excitement, cutting edge special effects, and amazing future NBA stars.

PSYCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In an attempt to make the game "more exciting," the administrators of college basketball are merely taking up valuable air time on Fox College Sports TV to find "the 98th-best team in the nation." It is nonsensical, pointless, and entails absolutely NO BRAGGING rights for next year's season.
