The brackets are out, the East Region is an absolute bloodbath, and the NIL era has officially created the biggest gap between the haves and have-nots in NCAA Tournament history. Dan Dakich and the crew break down the entire March Madness bracket. We are talking about why St. John's got completely robbed by the committee, why Purdue might have the sweetest path to the Final Four (if they don't choke), and why you absolutely cannot sleep on the Akron Zips pulling off the ultimate 12-5 upset. Plus, we dive into the wild stat that proves NIL is taking over: for the first time since 1985, every single top 16 seed is a 10+ point favorite.
