Call it a wild conspiracy theory, but I believe the charge called on Acey was a “David Stern”-like ploy to get ratings happy Duke into the Final Four.
“The selection committee knew the NCAA is in the process of deciding whether to opt out of the final three years (2011-13) of its 11-year, $6 billion contract with CBS. If the contract is put on the open market, it is smart (TV) business to attempt to maximize – big-time – the 2010 tourney’s ratings.” NY Daily News (commenting on why Duke was given the easiest regional bracket).
Clearly Zoubek did not have position and Baylor was posed to take over before the “and 1″ was taken away.
