To All GFB Pool Participants -

This past year has been challenging for all of us. While it seems we have turned a corner and things are getting better, in no way can we say things have returned to normal. For many others as well as myself, we are trying to figure out how to operate in this new normal. I can tell you personally, I am still trying to figure it out.

It was my intention to run the pool this year. Heck the NCAA even gave me an extra day to get it ready. But our new normal has placed other commitments on me both now and during the next few weeks as the tournament progresses. These would have made it impossible for me to dedicate the time to provide the updates and analysis that you have come to expect from our pool.

If you were looking forward to the pool this year I apologize. If all goes well it will be back for 2022. For your other pools this year I wish you no broken brackets and that you hit on all the 12-5 upsets you choose.

As always, feel free to reach out at ncaa@bkane.com
