I spent the afternoon at the allergist's reading Pizza Parlor Derek's profiles of the automatic entrants into the tournament.
Here's what I gleaned:
Duke is everything that's right with college basketball, and that's why we hate them. They also have some interesting alumni I wasn't aware of.
Derek doesn't think Erin Andrews is a worthy mention on Florida's list of alumni.
Derek got bored writing the Pacific profile and his mind wandered.
San Diego State has a surprisingly strong list of alumni, at least until you get to Jeanne Zelasko.
Nothing compared to UCLA though.
Golda Meir went to the Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I honestly thought that was a joke.
The Concierge will be rooting for Montana because they are coached by Larry Krystowiak.
The best list of alums of course belongs to Syracuse. He only included one athlete leaving off Marvin Harrison, Jim Brown and Derrick Coleman. He also left off Dick Clark, Dick Stockton, Taye Diggs, Vanessa Williams, jusTON and Carmelo Anthony.

That's because Carmelo Anthony never graduated, nor did Bob Costas or Marv Albert. Does simply attending, for any amount of time, qualify you as an alum?
I think if someone attended for a year, then left, and dominated in their particular field of study (or sport) at the school, then it counts as far as the public is concerned. Just not by official records.
