Go to Post DEKA is right next to the river, and when i got there this morning they wouldn't let us into the building, but apparently there is and standing water on the first floor. The ironic thing is that i work on the water project and we can't deal with a bit of water on the floor - Greg Needel [more]

Have you watched the NCAA men's basketball tournament. 68 teams out of 351 Division I schools qualify. That's just under 20%. Most of the "power" conferences have qualifying tournaments, but many other teams qualify. Here's the number from each conference in 2015. The Big 12 has 10 members so 70% qualified. The Big 10 has 14 now so 50% qualified.

Bids Conference Schools
7 Big 12 Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, West Virginia
7 Big Ten Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue
6 ACC Notre Dame, Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia
6 Big East Villanova, Butler, Georgetown, Providence, St. John's, Xavier
5 SEC Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss
4 Pac-12 Arizona, Oregon, UCLA, Utah
3 Atlantic 10 VCU, Davidson, Dayton
3 Mountain West Wyoming, Boise State, San Diego State
2 American SMU, Cincinnati
2 Missouri Valley Northern Iowa, Wichita State
2 WCC Gonzaga, BYU
