The Alarming Trend in March Madness Pools

If this doesn’t make you shake your head, say “Kids today” right after a world-weary sigh, and finish it off with a tsk-tsk, nothing will.

We’re in a March Madness pool with five other bloggers, and that’s all well and good. But what Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports uncovered pretty near guarantees that you’ll never look at an NCAA tournament pool the same way again. Yikes.

The Ugly Side of Bracketology

Toledo, OH - Administrators at Hadley Lane Elementary School in Toledo, Ohio reacted forcefully after finding out that both of the school’s kindergarten classes have NCAA tournament pools going.

“We all like the tournament, but I’m sorry, five years of age is too young to be in an NCAA pool,” said James Frazier, the school’s principal.

Anthony Fertitta, the kindergartner who started the pools, disagreed. “Look for Drake in the Elite 8,” Anthony said.

Frazier said the school has barred all participating students from taking naps throughout the 18-day run of the tournament, though the teachers’ union was said to be staunchly against such a measure.

“We are planning to add Bracketology 101 to our curriculum in time for next year’s tourney,” Frazier added. “Goodness knows, we’ll have motivated pupils, and that’s when real teaching happens.”
