Very interesting take on March Madness and collegiate sports.

The "NCAA March Sadness 2015" game at the end is amusing, to say the least.

Plenty of SEC teams get mentioned.

I'm sure he will have something to say about Alabama on the Taylor fiasco soon enough. He went after Alabama for freaking money spent on facilities. I can only imagine what he will say about players commiting violent acts.

Yeah, I laughed at that too. John Oliver is just so anti Bama.

It wasn't intended to be flattery. But college athletics has become a major topic on these sorts of shows for obvious reasons. And the Taylor story will get worse as more national media syndicates pick it up. Unfortunately Alabama is the low hanging fruit for most of them.

And yet again, John Oliver talks about more important issues than Alabama football (there are such things, Bama fans)

The man covers big tobacco, big pharma, the entire NCAA...yet somehow you think he will cover an individual player's issues on Alabama's team

I'm pretty sure I was suggesting that the societal issues of domestic violence is why Alabama may be mentioned. Just as Alabama served as an example of spending in collegiate athletics in the fall out of the O'Bannon law suit.

The world does not fricking revolve around Alabama.
