University of Kentucky wins NCAA men's basketball championship

So I don't know how many people on this forum like basketball, much less American college basketball, but my Kentucky Wildcats have won their first championship since 1998. Yes, it is an unfair and highly consumerist spectator sport, but it's Kentucky. wink

GO CATS!!!!

I guess I like it because it's not professional, it's young people who aren't paid who try to make it a great game simply for a great game. Now, there are a LOT of problems with college sports in the US, like the fact that many universities lack in education quality because so much of their budgets go to paying coaches salaries.

They should be fucking paid. College sports makes shitloads of money and the athletes see fuck all of it.
