No NCAA bracket for Trump :(

I'm guessing he confused NCAA for NCAAP?
I doubt he would have done a women's bracket either.

It appears that President Trump is passing on March Madness. He will not continue his predecessor’s annual tradition of filling out an NCAA tournament bracket on ESPN.

The network reached out to Trump’s staff and invited the president to fill out a bracket on-camera, just as President Barack Obama had the past several years. The network recently received word that Trump has passed. An ESPN spokesman said in a statement: “We expressed our interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket. They have respectfully declined.”

He's famous, dude -- they just let you.

I'm glad he did not fill out a bracket. NCAA is a corrupt institution that is basically sports slavery. Totally garbage. Hopefully he continues to call superbowls, Obama was one and done and left with a 100% prediction.

Trump has a secret bracket, it is the best, big, big bracket ever. He might even show everyone after the tournament is over.

I'd laugh, but I think you are serious.

LOL you mean the Super Bowl which is the NFL's crowning jewel? The all righteous NFL which was tax exempt up until 2015?
NCAA is far from "sports slavery" -- though I do agree that the NCAA's rules need to be adjusted significantly.

He's tired of winning.

It by and large exploits underprivileged black youths under the pretense of a college education, and then they are forced to take classes that don't interfere with practice schedules, and severely damage their prospects upon leaving college.

Oh but the upside.

1 out of every 1,000 black male attending NCAA feeder programs for pro sports gets to become a millionaire.

Tons of revenue losing sports, like your NCAA cheerleading, band, wrestlers, etc, get a free college education on account of the school's NCAA program making money and having more available for scholarships. Usually that part benefits the whites.

It's sports slavery, accept it, and just learn to live with the fact that you enjoy watching teens get exploited for massive monetary gain by a few old cranky white guys (athletic directors, college conference directors, and coaches)

You've failed to convince me, but you also failed to see where I said "though I do agree that the NCAA's rules need to be adjusted significantly."

Apologist. What makes this all the worse is the amount of CTE cases that are coming about without NFL exposure. Not only are you worse off because you have either a bullshit or no college degree, but you will end up killing yourself from debilitating depression and dementia.

But by all means, lets make a thread poo-pooing Trump not filling out a bracket, thats the real problem here.

Can't argue with this though I would add that athletics also detract from the missions of the schools which, contrary to what the administrators might think, is not to make money.

Of all things to get one's panties in a bunch. Many Americans don't participate in a NCAA Basketball bracket.

 

[theeedude]

He's going to be filling out a different bracket.

I don't think I could fill out a bracket from scratch. I'd probably have MIT vs DeVry in the final game.

100% agree. I'm not sure of the total list of high profile schools that have withdrawn from athletics, but I know a notable one is University of Chicago when they withdrew from football for that very reason. Very admirable that the school recognized that and actually implemented that. Instead there are more schools now, like Notre Dame for example, where much of their identity rests on their athletic prowess and "win this one for the Gipper" or Rudy. It's cult-like and seriously disturbing.

wow, ok I am in 100% agreement with this statement, especially if you talk about some of the big names
The schools in Kansas, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc, are known for their athletic programs instead of their scholastic programs. Just make it a sports college, and dispense of all the bullshit.
