SECRant March Madness Bracket results deemed invalid through an independent investigation

The investigating body, which will remain anonymous so as not to call into question the integrity of the inquiry, was composed of 14 members, one from each SEC member school, chosen at random.
Their conclusion was based on the following findings:
1. That a disproportionate number of the 64 posters selected (15) were LSU posters.
2. That one member school (Vanderbilt) had zero representation yet members of a third-rate university fanbase (UCF) were allowed in.
3. That the seedings were deliberately set up to advance certain individuals while putting better posters at a disadvantage.
4. That the bracket was designed deliberately to keep one or more fanbases out of the final 16, 8 and 4.
5. That two board administrators (Chicken and LewDawg) were allowed to compete, which compromises their ability to properly administer and do their jobs.
6. That a poster voted worst poster on both the Tiger Rant and SEC Rant by a near unanimous vote (Wild Thang) made the cut.
7. That peej (Dukke V) made the cut.
8. That the event was moderated and sponsored by an active participant.
As a result, the tournament is effectively nullified and may resume once the aforementioned discrepancies have been resolved.

I was not part of the investigation. I was only tasked with presenting the findings. Once the discrepancies have been resolved, it can resume in a more fair and equitable fashion.

Well, if there's a bracket for who got butthurt the most over the current bracket, you will win in a landslide.

You seem to be unfamiliar with how it works. People were nominated, and those with the most upvotes got in.

If we're going to present it as official, we need to do it with some integrity. It was already halted due to widespread fraud after the 2nd round, which triggered the independent investigation in the first place.

In order to administer this fairly I think this contest should be conducted by the A&M contingent of this site

No, have one of the site mods conduct it without participating. Make a modified game thread.

We should definitely have a saltiest/most butt hurt SECR poster tournament.

I agree with everything you said.
Can someone tell me what he said?
