As Joe Lunardi starts to look forward to a long summer, college students and more importantly student athletes are starting their spring break.  Some will choose to spend their hard earned spring vacation in exotic beach getaways where the water is still too cold to swim in and the sand has less broken glass than you’d expect like Myrtle Beach or Daytona.

However Kentucky’s basketball team has decided they’ll be spending their Spring Break in beautiful “downtown” Indianapolis.  Well actually the NCAA decided the spring break plans for Kentucky’s basketball team, and technically the plans for their fans as well.  The NCAA selection committee is responsible for deciding the destinations of all the basketball fans in America over the month of March.  With good reason as the committee is comprised of a group of white guys and one woman named Janet, most of whom have never played basketball, and yet every year are tasked with finding the best way to play a fair and balanced tournament that will decide the national champion for a sport they’ve seen a couple times on TV if and when their wife went to bed early.

Since the announcement of the NCAA tournament bracket, and the cementing of the basketball teams travel plans for the foreseeable future, Coach John Calipari is trying to make the best of it, just like the people that actually have to live in Indianapolis, Indiana year round.  Calipari addressed the media and his team with an excitement and joy that no one has ever had when speaking of Indiana, “They have go karts, and by that time it’ll be almost 40 degrees!”
