March Madness

Alright NCAA selection committee! I congratulate your decision on leaving Missouri State out of the March Madness bracket. Now there is only one thing left to do...eBay Barry Hinson's tears to fund rising tuition costs. Or perhaps put that money towards programs that got cut. No wait a minute, that would only make sense. And anybody who has ever lived in Springfield knows that we can't make a decision based on sensiblity. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm taking out my frustration for sports being put ahead of academics. I'm not against compensating student athletes (not a salary...just compensation for the hours they spend practicing instead of working), but I am against money being put into "new" arenas when the old ones are more than acceptable, then running a story on the local news about tuition costs going up the same day. At least I got out when I did.
