CONSPIRACY THEORY: UNC's Bubba Cunningham Received A Six-Figure Bonus Because They Made The Tournament, He's Also The Committee Chair
You know the name Bubba Cunningham now. He's the North Carolina AD and also the committee chair for this year. He's the one who had to go on CBS, stare into the camera and say West Virginia didn't make the Tournament because Tucker DeVries got hurt and some other bullshit. But now we're getting my favorite part of the day after. Conspiracy theories. This is the biggest one.
Bubba Cunningham made $104,000 thanks to a bonus of UNC making the Tournament. It's true. He's not the only AD to have this, but he's the only AD who is the selection committee chair and got a bonus for his team on the bubble making it. I think they should have to win the First Four game in order for him to get paid. Everyone knows the First Four isn't the real Tournament anyways so add some stakes to it.
I also know the whole 'he leaves the room' while they talk about UNC. But that's bullshit. He's sitting in a room with these people for hours on end. It's impossible not to say something over the course of days to someone. It's human nature to say something to someone at some point. All I know is I'm a sucker for NCAA Tournament conspiracy theories. Giving us Cal vs Pitino, Jeremy Roach vs Duke, Danny Wolf vs Yale. But this is my favorite one. We have a six-figure bonus in play.
