Texas Tech has the best odds of a team outside the top four seeds.

The Saudi government being a bad actor isn't something we should be surprised about.

There are a shit ton of Saudi students in the US so of course over the years there will be many cases of crimes committed by them same as any other demographic.

I was bothered by the post I was responding to in large part because of the connection between countries like Saudi Arabia having backwards sexual culture and immigrants from those counties who come to America being backwards sexually. America is a land of relative freedom. Or at least it should be. Its a magnet for people from those cultures who wish to escape them and have a better life for their kids in America.

A Saudi guy who's goal is to have multiple child brides isn't going to have America at the top of the list of places to build a life. A Saudi guy who wants his daughters growing up with dignity very well might. I wish Americans were more cognizant of that when they demonize immigrants. (And please don't take this to mean I think all Muslim immigrants are saints.)

"If you think capitalism is bad, why did you write a book?"

Surely there are statistics that demonstrate "they" commit disproportionate amounts of sex crimes when they come to the USA.

I mean, as convincing as your anecdote is and all..

It'd be a big step-up for both Gonzaga and the conference competition-wise. Assuming Gonzaga remains a top 25 team I'd have to think it'd be lucrative for the conference with TV deals.

Who would be turned off from watching a game because Gonzaga is a smaller school? I don't see the ACC kicking out Wake Forest.
