Say good bye to RPI. The NCAA just announced that it is getting replaced with a metric that actually tries to tell you how good teams are. Imagine that.
The new metric will be called NET, which I’m a huge fan of because a net is also the thing that they put on basketball hoops. It makes sense that way. I think every acronym in sports should be pigeonholed to make it spell out a thing that applies to its sport. Instead of WAR, make it BAT for Best At Teamwork. Instead of YAC, make it it HIKE for Huffingandpuffing Inthewakeof Katching Eggshapedball.
