West Virginia Launches NCAA Investigation Over Tournament Snub

Governor Patrick Morrisey alleges corruption and conflict of interest in NCAA selection process after WVU's exclusion from March Madness.

West Virginia University was left out of the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament despite six Quad 1 wins, sparking widespread criticism.
North Carolina, with a weaker resume including a 1-12 Quad 1 record, was selected as the final at-large team, raising questions about fairness.
Governor Patrick Morrisey has initiated an investigation into the NCAA, focusing on potential corruption and conflicts of interest involving UNC's athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who chairs the selection committee.
Cunningham, who recused himself during discussions about UNC, faces scrutiny over financial incentives tied to UNC's tournament inclusion.
The NCAA has not yet responded to the allegations, while WVU declined an NIT invitation, and UNC prepares to compete in the tournament.
