DRAIN THE SWAMP! West Virginia goes nuclear over NCAA Tournament snub, launches full scale investigation into ‘Nefarious Activity’

Mountaineer Nation isn’t just mad about West Virginia’s NCAA Tournament snub—the state government is literally launching an investigation over it.

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey held a full-on press conference on Monday to announce that he’s directing the state attorney general to investigate the NCAA and the selection committee for potential corruption in leaving the Mountaineers out of March Madness.

Morrisey didn’t hold back, saying they want to determine if “any backroom deals, corruption, bribes, or any nefarious activity occurred during the selection process.”

To really hammer the point home, they even slapped “National Corrupt Athletic Association” across the podium, just in case you weren’t clear on how they feel.

Honestly, the great state of West Virginia and Mountaineers across the globe deserve this. It’s our time to fight back against tyranny, oppression, and the swamp creatures that give ways to evil organizations like the NCAA, the University of North Carolina, and people like Bubba Cunningham to use their power and influence for their own personal gain.

This whole meltdown stems from the fact that West Virginia was widely projected to be in the field, yet somehow got left out. Meanwhile, North Carolina—whose athletic director Bubba Cunningham just so happened to be the chair of the selection committee—made the cut.

That’s where the state is pointing fingers. If there was any “nefarious activity” going on, it likely revolves around the Tar Heels getting favorable treatment while West Virginia got pushed aside.

The NCAA is filled with RATS:

UNC’s AD Bubba Cunningham has some explaining to do after he cashed a $104,000 bonus on the Tar Heels making the NCAA Tournament

Of course, nothing will actually come of this because this is college basketball, not Watergate. But if nothing else, Morrisey has a track record of winning lawsuits against the NCAA, so you can’t completely rule out him stirring something up and serving those rats a full plate of delicious justice.

West Virginia is VERY mad and rightfully so…

The Mountaineers are furious. The governor is furious. The state is furious.

Let’s talk about the actual bracket for a second. UNC sneaks in with one quality win all season, yet West Virginia, Indiana, and other teams with more legitimate cases get left out? It’s the perfect storm of blue-blood privilege meets backroom politics.

UNC March Madness:

• The Tar Heels finished 22-13 overall.
• Their only Quad 1 win came against UCLA in December.
• The committee’s chair is literally UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham.

SNUBBED: West Virginia & Indiana

If you’re a West Virginia or Indiana fan, today is pure misery and anger towards Bubba Cunningham and the NCAA.

West Virginia put together SIX Quad 1 wins and still got left out of the big dance. Indiana wasn’t far behind, notching four Quad 1 wins of their own, yet somehow UNC with just ONE Quad 1 win made the cut instead.

Go figure…

Most neutral observers agree the selection committee absolutely botched this decision so how can you really say that there wasn’t a massive amount of corruption involved? The NCAA is already terrible at it’s job and I have no doubt that they are even more corrupt than the common man knows.

West Virginia fans aren’t buying what Bubba Cunningham and his greedy group of unelected swamp creatures are selling. If investigation somehow turns into anything real, March Madness might get a whole lot messier in the best way possible.

Drain the swamp! Montani Semper Liberi! Mountaineers are always free!
