I wasn't babbling. I was making a point. I have been a NCAA Official for 14 years and I know the politics involved. Hank Nichols made a mistake. How can TV win that award and not be asked to go to St Louis? That with the fact Burr and Hightower didn't get the NC game proves what a joke the process is. Their experence was needed that night.

Yep, I was right. Babbling. Just because a committee selected TV, it doesn't mean that they were right and Nichols was wrong.

I don't have a problem with Teddy. I've met him and found him very down to earth and unassuming. But many people don't like him.

Does the award mean anything? Well, let's just say that if it were me, I'd rather work a FF or NC game than win such an award.
