Related Topics: West Virginia

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Monday that the state will launch an investigation into NCAA and the selection committee over how the teams were picked for the 2025 NCAA Tournament. His move comes a day after his state's flagship school, West Virginia, was excluded from the tournament. Standing behind a podium emblazoned with a sign that read "National Corrupt Athletic Association, Morrisey said West Virginia deserved to get into the tournament. "West Virginia deserved to be in the NCAA Tournament," he said. "This is a miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest level." Clearly knowledgeable about college basketball, Morrisey talked comfortably about Quad 1 victories, strength of schedule and NET rankings -- among the metrics that the tournament committee supposedly uses in determining the teams.
