agreed. I don't think Minnesota was after any sort of public flogging anyway. Minnesota will probably end up on the bubble this year for the tournament. What they are worried about is that this loss will keep them out. So they just wanted some sort of acknowledgment of a mistake so the Selection Committee would have that in mind when making its decision.

Personally, even as a Minnesota fan, I don't really think the Selection Committee should treat this game differently from any other game. In that sense, I think our appeal was a little silly. But regardless, it's good to clarify the rule, confusing as it is.
