Then March Madness would look like it does at Inside Higher Ed.
The informative, mildly subversive organ of collegiate news posts its annual NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament bracket based on academic considerations. It may say something that in past years, this bracket yielded a most unlikely tournament outcome, while this years ends rather plausibly. There's a 16 beating a 1 and a 15 beating a 2, but otherwise, the upsets are at least imaginable and the projected champion not at all unthinkable.
Does this mean that athletic and academic quality are beginning to merge?

We should clarify that these picks are based on the academic records of NCAA athletes, not the schools' overall academic performances, which would make some of the outcomes very bizarre.
