I looked up the selection committee and found something interesting. Of the 10 members of the committee, 4 of them represent schools from the Carolinas. Here is the list of committee members:
Kyle Kallander – Big South Conference Commissioner (Committee Chair)
The Big South only had 1 team in (Coastal Carolina), but the Big South is located entirely within NC, SC and VA with 11 teams, 7 of which are from the Carolinas. Those states combined for 10 teams and 4 regional host sites. Only 2 of those teams were AQs.
Gary Overton – East Carolina Assistant Athletic Director
East Carolina in as an at large
Larry Gallo – North Carolina Associate Athletic Director
UNC in as the #4 National Seed (they did deserve a Nat seed)
Eric Hyman – South Carolina Athletic Director
Even our SEC rep is from the Carolinas!
Dennis Farrell – Big West Conference Commissioner
Chris Monasch – St.John’s Athletic Director
Mark LaBarbera – Valparaiso Athletic Director
Note: LaBarbera served as an athletics administrator at North Carolina State from 1989-1999
Randy L. Buhr – Washington State Associate Athletic Director
David Heeke – Central Michigan Athletic Director
John Hardt – Bucknell Athletic Director
Still digging. More to follow.

ACC bias, yes. Facts...not so much

Yes it has. Clearly you haven't been around the last few days.

No, was in Hoover and wasn't really on. I looked through the stuff from today and there has been a lot of talk of "anti-SEC" bias and "ACC bias", but I hadn't seen the board members posted. I was suprised that one region was so heavily represented.
