Some friends said they’re sending their kids to a no screens private school and I was curious how much it cost. It costs $47,200/year!!!!!!!!!!! $47,200!!!!!!! $47,200 DOLLARS






Alan Curran in today’s Irish Times on the threat from AI to the development of independent and creative-minded students.







Closing thought on why I had Auburn in the field: -6 of 7 Auburn metrics were <= 44 (#44 was the last at-large team selected) -Auburn is the first team to ever miss the field (NET era, since 2018-19 season) with every metric <= 46 as of Selection Sunday -Excluding teams that won 3+ conference tournament games, Auburn is the 1st Power Conference school to ever miss the field with both a NET and resume avg < 45.0 -Auburn is the first team to ever miss the field with a resume average < 50.0 and a true road win at a 1 seed -Auburn had three notable elite wins over SEC regular season champ Florida (A), SEC Tournament Champ Arkansas (H), and Big East double champ St. John's (N) -Auburn alone had six wins vs the at-large field. SMU, NC State and Miami OH combined had seven wins vs the at-large field -Auburn played an extremely difficult schedule, #4 overall/ #15 Non Conference SOS, and the metrics account for this Obviously, I could have gone with consensus and had Auburn out. But consensus also had West Virginia in last year... The Committee tends to throw us at least one curveball at the bubble. I took a shot, I was wrong. I can live with that.
