That's An Unwieldy Office Pool

So, you know how some college basketball coaches, eager to have a tournament win or two to impress the boosters, have talked about having a tournament that incorporates all Division I-A teams? Well, in Wisconsin, they're actually trying something like this: They're starting a tournament with a 224 teams in it.

Well, kind of. They have seven different divisions, and from a total of 434 teams, 224 make the tournament itself. As we try to imagine what the heck that bracket would like — probably similar to the Shawn Kemp family tree, we suspect — we think this might be kind of fun in general, for all sports. Heck, our boy Ron Zook could probably sneak one tournament win, maybe ... OK, probably not.
