Standing in front of a wooden dais with a teal blue sign attached to the front with the acronym "NCAA" -- in this case standing for "National Corrupt Athletic Association" -- West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey and Attorney General JB McCuskey announced at a joint press conference Monday they will launch an investigation into the NCAA Tournament selection committee after the Mountaineers were snubbed from the 68-team field on Sunday.
"Nearly every single sports fan, pundit and Bracketologist had WVU as a shoo-in for the tournament," Gov. Morrisey said, less than a day after the Mountaineers were the first team left out of the field. "This was a miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest levels."
