No way they remove the logo though. When people watch the games, the NCAA wants everybody to know who's running the event.

How about we just rip Myles Brand's head off?

It's a wonder he didn't offer to have the Raleigh games moved to Chapel Hill instead.

Yeah when 2 college basketball teams are playing in Mid March..I'd be lost that it was an NCAA event w/out the 27 logos every 3 feet on the floor and the sideline banners to help me out. Does anyone not realize or even care where the games are held that we need to have the center court logo blocked?

You forgot the logo on the jersey shoulder...

I was with friends watching the games over the weekend and many of us thought those logos were computer generated like the first down and line of scrimmage graphics used during NFL games. I'm wondering if this article is a hoax.

Logo Haiku

#1
The committe thinks
that logos are appropo.
What next, neck tattoos?

#2
Myles Brand likes to brand
too much. The players jock straps
are probably next.

#3
If a player falls
on the logo, will Myles Brand's
committe hear it?

#4
No advertising
is the best advertising.
Let the logo go.

hey Roy -- this tournament is all about the NCAA hierarchy not about the kids or individual teams -- you know this. change shoes.

ROY AINT NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!! IT WOULD BE VERY BAD IF YOU WAS THE #1 DRAFT PICK OF THE YEAR. AND YOU SLIP AND BREAK AN ANKLE ON THAT SLICK LOGO.YOUR CAREER COULD BE OVER.

How is it that we're in the middle of the greatest event in American sports and all T & R can come up with is a story about a coach worried about a slippery center-court logo?

It is time for Sports Illustrated to shut down Fannation.com if it cannot do better than this.

I couldn't agree more. March Madness is the greatest sports spectacle in all of sports, worldwide (sorry, World Cup fans). Let's go Louisville!!!

Roy, I understand you're concern, after all someone could get hurt. However, you also need to send them a note of thanks, for having the East regional in the state of North Carolina.

I smell a conspiradcy theory brewing when Tony's group bumps them off. Look for a Tarheel to lose his footing and Roy to lose his temper.

You know the NCAA is running a pretty good show when the biggest complaint is about their logo ...

He just saw the video of him in the bathroom at the break. It was played on the big screen! LOL

Get rid of the logo.... like we don't know it's the NCAA. Saw a potential over and back situation.... don't think there is a line through it ... someone correct me if I'm wrong. Just a way bad idea.... overkill.... only in America.

Roy Williams needs to get over himself and retire.

And to think that the NCAA wanted to regulate the number of "swooshes" Nike put on colleges unis...The nerve of them...

They should put logos on the logos and then sell advertising space on them.

really? get over himself? i could not disagree more (sorry for the double negative but i deemed it prudent) he's one of the best coaches in the country and doesn't mouth off the the ncaa very often. When he does its usually genuine.
