The NCAA Selection Show is today at 11 a.m. on some ESPN channel. The odds were low after Tuesday's loss, and the bubble was popped worse than most seasons.
From there, obviously, the topic is Mike Bianco's job security. Keith Carter is in Destin for SEC spring meetings. Contractually, Ole Miss has to tell Bianco within seven days of Ole Miss' last game if they are extending his contract. That means that has to happen today or by in the morning, depending on the precise language of the contract. I don't think it takes an ace reporter to know he's not being extended (rolled back to four years) if they don't make the tournament.
The contract thing forces some level of ball rolling about the future of the program. Does Carter stay in Destin and they talk about the program when he gets back? Sure. I assume Bianco will be in Louisville on Friday watching Ben play.
That's where this is right now. The extension thing has to happen soon, per Bianco's contract, if Ole Miss doesn't make the tournament.
