I would like it, but doubt ND will get put in the bid light, given the poor responses in media to 'how' their wins have piled up.  seems like a double standard to me, as i can point to plenty of teams that have relatively fallen apart in the last three weeks while nd still gets their wins + no love.  but hey, charlie's gonna be around for awhile.  ::grin::

Simple. A new conference was formed no more than 10 years ago. This made the automatic bid number jump from 33 to 34. They decided to keep this and number have a play-in. In a way, this game doesn't even matter, since they are playing for a number 16 seed. The number 16 has never beat a #1 in the history of the tournament. They let the play-in game happen just to give more schools a chance, drawling larger national attention. And keeping more dreams alive.

No, it's not a degree, it's an academic honor society, and a very selective one at that. \n\nIt was originally founded in 1776.  Membership is granted to only one percent of college graduates.  Currently there are 270 chapters and over half a million living members. \n\nNo member school may induct more than 10% of its graduating class. It's generally considered to be the most selective and prestigious of all college honor societies.\n\nElection to membership one of the highest honors available to undergraduate collegians.

Honestly, ND has similar entrance standards that the other top Catholic schools (Boston College and Georgetown) have.  They are all top 40 schools - they take the best and brightest.  If you had a good (read 1900+) SAT score, plus mostly A's in HS, and do well your first year - you may have a shot.  But, like I said, it's a top 40 school - they ain't easy to get into.

Yes, but fewer than NCAA Division I.  That's actually the primary way the divisions are defined.  Also, partial scholarships become more common in the lower divisions.\n\nExample:  Football.  NCAA Division I-A teams get 85 scholarships, I-AA teams get 63, Div. II teams get 36.\n\nEDIT:  Correction, Division III schools are NOT allowed to offer scholarships for athletic ability, though will often find other ways to offer financial aid to their athletes.

Well, John R is partly right.\n\nTexas made it to the Elite Eight in last year's NCAA basketball tournament, losing to LSU.\n\nTexas was trying to become the only school to have National Championships in the three major college sports in the same year...Football, Basketball, and Baseball.  They already had the Football and Baseball National Championships.
