Tonight marks the begining of a new era (and the end to some web sites business models). Starting tommorow, the NCAA will begin releasing the official RPI statistics for men's and women's basketball on a weekly basis, free of charge. No longer will you have any reason to pay to see some sportswriter pull figures out of the air and claim they are this weeks RPI. Who needs "Bracketology" when you can see for yourself who is and isn't in. Not to mention the fact that, baring a major upset, the media circus that is Selection Sunday becomes an almost moot point now.
