Last night saw an amazing end to another fantastic NCAA tourney. The upsets, the rising stars, the falling draft stocks, the crushed hopes. I love every second of it, even if my bracket was obliterated by Stephen Curry. The first Final Four to be straight chalk, though it wasn't an easy road for some. Three of the most storied programs and one that was arguably the best all season. Two dominent games to get to the title game. Then, a game that was an instant classic. A shot that will go down as one of the most clutch shots in tournament history. Kansas and Bill Self, after years of dashed dreams and criticism, finally make it to the top of the basketball world. They are the Champions.

But before he can even cut down the nets, there's already questions about whether or not he'll take the Okahoma State coaching postion, a job for his alma mater. As soon as he comes off the floor, microphones are in his face and people are asking about the Cowboys, not the Jayhawks. The Big 12, not the Big 10. Next year, not what just happened five minutes ago.

This is a trend that has been going on for years in college athletics, I understand that. It's still sickening. Les Miles was having to deal with constant questions about Michigan while still leading his LSU Tigers to the National Championship. He blew up on reporters, and I applauded him. I cannot understand why more coaches don't do just that.

I'm not saying that every coach needs to honor the contracts that they sign, though I think they should. I understand that at times there are jobs that you just can't say no to. But there should be some kind of grace period, especially after a title run. It's just ludacrous that coaches are being asked about openings at other schools as they are heading to the locker room after a win or at halftime.

College sports has gotten out of control. Have a little respect and let the kids and coaches revel in the fact that for right now, there is no one better then their team. Seriously...so much for the afterglow.

Ok, so as of yesterday, the leading rusher for Virgina Tech was dismissed from the team. The reason? He had a bad attitude. Frank Beamer, the head coach at VT for going on 21 seasons, kicked a redshirt senior running back that always seemed to produce for his annemic offense because he "didn't have a relationship" with the guy? The hell? This guy made it through BOTH the Vick's and he kicks Brandon Ore off now? Good for him!

I'm not asking "What the hell?" because he did it, I'm asking why it took so long? This is the guy who dropped out of classes to work at a 7-11 storehouse back home. This is the guy who never really embraced what he had. A guy who, for lack of a better phrase, wasted his talent.

He kicked Marcus Vick off the team for multiple infractions and refusing to adhere to the guidelines set before him. Yes, he stuck with the Dolphins when Nick Saban was there, but that's because Saban and Beamer are a lot alike. They ask a lot from young men and expect them to stick to it. I hope Ore, with he's college career for all intents and purposes over, can find some kind of rudder and see that this is good for him. Maybe this motivates him to go out and work hard enough for an NFL team to take a Marcus Vick type of flyer on him. Maybe it forces him to focus on whatever is important in his life and stick to it rather then waffling like he seems to have done in the past.

Honerable Mentions:

David Stern for calling the Seatlle arena push a PR stunt.

MLB for not clarifing the reimbursment that coaches and staff would recive for the upcoming trip to Japan for the Sox and A's.

The NCAA Selection Commitee for leaving Virgina Tech out of the field of 65. It took a last second miracle by the Heels to win that game. There were 64 better teams then the Hokies this year? Really?
