"regarding yesterday’s bowl announcements: i’m thrilled that michigan is going to the sugar bowl — what a way to cap off this remarkable season. however, i can’t shake the feeling that this is the closest i’ll ever get to experiencing white male privilege: i’m benefiting from an unjust system. there were eligible, deserving teams higher ranked than we were, but of course the selection committee would pick us because we have the biggest alumni base in the country and we’ll bring them big ratings and we travel well, so they’ll likely sell out all their tickets. and on and on and on. so yes, i’m happy; but man, this system is jacked, and i feel bad for boise state and kansas state and baylor."
