What's the paypal deadline?  I can send shortly assuming it hasn't passed.

Edit:  I filled out bracket and sent via Venmo not paypal.

Anyone who picks Purdue to win it all should be disqualified immediately and forfeit the $10. I think that's a fair rule.

I don't think anyone will, but just in case.

I was in a pool that used to draft teams and if you picked the team that beat UK or Purdue, your entry fee was refunded.  Not all players were IU fans but the guy who ran the pool was a huge IU fan.  He would go for 16 players to draft 4 teams each.

Time to spill the beans: Any brackets with Purdue in the F4? Remember, Mr. Jacobs, you're under oath.
