Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | The behavior at Michigan State University this week was unconscionable, including |
2 | Virginia | allowing Tom Izzo to coach the game against Wisconsin only hours after a report on |
3 | Purdue | previous non-trivial investigations into the program and university exposed a likely |
4 | Duke | cover-up situation, whereby MSU created a culture that allowed Larry Nassar to thrive. |
5 | Xavier | I grew up quietly rooting for Tom and the Spartans, while being a fan of other teams, because |
6 | Cincinnati | I thought he was different from the rest, he was above the nonsense that plagued other |
7 | Kansas | programs. It was with a heavy heart that I spoke very negatively this week about a man |
8 | West Virginia | and university I had great respect for. The Green and White would be 5th on my ballot this |
9 | Arizona | week, but I've chosen to leave them off in light of cold-hearted statements and claims of |
10 | Texas Tech | innocence surrounding the program. By next Monday, MSU will return to its rightful place |
11 | North Carolina | in the top ten of my ballot. |
12 | Oklahoma | |
13 | Ohio State | |
14 | Florida | |
15 | Auburn | |
