The timing of Bill O'Brien's firing was nonsensical because the Texans let him wreck the roster before letting him go
This timing makes no sense to fire Bill O'Brien... Because you're going to let him trade away your franchises best player, then you're going to give him four games and then fire them... That's exactly what a dumb franchise would do let their coach become their GM in a power struggle have him wreck everything and then fire him four games in the season.

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical
Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.
The Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well
Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa have some pretty big fan bases that are all gonna wanna travel, especially Nebraska... I don't think it's gonna be like they're gonna take over the place, but I don't think it's gonna be 80% Houston at this game.
