We&#8217;re in a March Madness pool with five other bloggers, and that&#8217;s all well and good. But what Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports uncovered pretty near guarantees that you&#8217;ll never look at an NCAA tournament pool the same way again. Yikes.

The Ugly Side of Bracketology

<p>We&#8217;re in a <strong>March Madness</strong> pool <a href="http://www.everyjoe.com/when-march-madness-meets-pink-and-purple/">with five other bloggers</a>, and that&#8217;s all well and good. But what Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at <a href="http://www.etruesports.com">eTrueSports</a> uncovered pretty near guarantees that you&#8217;ll never look at an <strong>NCAA tournament</strong> pool the same way again. Yikes.</p>

<p><img align="right" width="124" src="http://www.etruesports.com/files/Image/kids_betting3.jpg" hspace="5" height="89" />Toledo, OH</strong> &#8211; Administrators at <strong>Hadley Lane Elementary School</strong> in Toledo, Ohio reacted forcefully after finding out that both of the school&#8217;s kindergarten classes have <strong>NCAA </strong>tournament pools going.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">&#8220;We all like the tournament, but I&#8217;m sorry, five years of age is too young to be in an NCAA pool,&#8221; said <strong>James Frazier</strong>, the school&#8217;s principal.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><strong>Anthony Fertitta</strong>, the kindergartner who started the pools, disagreed. &#8220;Look for <strong>Drake</strong> in the <strong>Elite 8</strong>,&#8221; Anthony said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Frazier said the school has barred all participating students from taking naps throughout the 18-day run of the tournament, though the teachers&#8217; union was said to be staunchly against such a measure.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">“We are planning to add <strong>Bracketology 101</strong> 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.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Disclaimer:  This is satire. You knew that . . . right?</p>
