March Madness: Duke Sittin' on Top, But Miami (Ohio) Barely Made the Cut, Fam
The rich get richer, and the lil' man gotta fight just to get in the door – ain't nothin' changed.

Aight, so March Madness brackets dropped, and Duke? They on top again. No surprise there, cuz. Them boys got the bag, they get the best players, they get treated like royalty. Arizona, Michigan, and Florida right behind 'em – same ol' story. The big dogs always eatin'.
Miami (Ohio), tho? That's a different story. They snuck in as an 11 seed, but barely. 31-1 record, but their schedule was weak AF. They had to beg and plead just to get a look. Now they gotta play in some play-in game just to get to the real tournament. That's how it be when you ain't got that clout, you gotta work twice as hard for half the recognition.
And peep this: San Diego State, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Auburn got left out. Auburn had the third-toughest schedule, but they still got curved. That's some BS right there. Shows you ain't nothin' fair about this game. It ain't always about how hard you play, it's about who you know and how much bread you bring to the table.
The SEC got 10 teams in the tourney, leadin' the pack. Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 right behind 'em. All that money from TV deals and endorsements flowin' into them schools, makin' the rich richer and the poor stayin' poor. This NIL money is for the elite bruh, not for the dudes tryna get by.
Florida, the champ from last year, tryna run it back. They part of that all No. 1 seed Final Four, it show just how predictable this system is. But real talk, this whole March Madness thing is just another example of the system workin' for the chosen few. Regular cats just tryna catch a break, but the deck is stacked against 'em.
So, watch the games, place your bets, but don't get it twisted. This ain't about fair competition. This about money, power, and the same folks stayin' on top. Keep yo' head up and remember, you gotta make yo' own lane if you wanna get anywhere in this world. Straight up.
Summary: Duke gets the top seed due to resources while Miami (Ohio) barely makes it; highlights the system favors the wealthy over those who work hard.
