The USMNT must reach the World Cup quarterfinals in 2026 or it is a massive disappointment.

I'm still, I'm staying my prediction that we need to make it, if we don't make it to at least the quarter finals in the next World Cup. Massive disappointment.

The 2026 World Cup has not occurred yet.

NC State is no longer a Cinderella; they are a team of destiny.

The one Cinderella that's still in there is a Cinderella that we can all focus on in NC State. Also not a Cinderella anymore because they just keep winning. They went from Cinderella to just Team of Destiny. Like, there was a moment when NC State in that Oakland game, they win in overtime, and I'm like, why can't they just win it all?

NC State continued their improbable run all the way to the Final Four as an 11-seed, fulfilling the 'destiny' narrative.

The Big East should have had more teams in the NCAA tournament.

Big East also undefeated. Six and oh Big East. Probably should put more teams in from the Big East.

While subjective, the conference's performance (specifically UConn winning the title) supports the argument that the mid-tier Big East teams were better than the mid-tier teams that made it.

There are ten teams in the Sweet 16 that could conceivably win the National Championship.

I look at the bracket right now and I don't know, 10 out of the 16, I could conceivably see winning it all.

The 2024 field was considered particularly strong at the top, and several different seeds made deep runs (including 11-seed NC State and 4-seed Alabama reaching the Final Four alongside 1-seeds UConn and Purdue).

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
