The data shows a big correlation between Final Four teams and African American admissions. Most of the Final Four teams are UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, Big East ect. in a given year. Therefore I think the admission spike is tied to those programs having future NBA guys on the team who have been hyped all season long on sportscenter. It is star driven more than team driven. Ohio doesn't have any future NBA stars on it or highly touted national players. For this reason I don't think the success=applications model can work for Ohio. Football its the same thing; its not just wins but a big national player.

Loyola should be the perfect test case for the Flutie Effect advocates. In 2019, let's see if the freshman class and overall fundraising is markedly better than it was in 2017.

This is how it goes. 1/31: "Dog, did you see that Kansas dunk last night that was sick!" Friend: "Uh huh that was nasty" 2/10: "I've seen it again! That was Devonte' Friend: "Devonte' is my man" 3/14: "Kansas in the tournament! I'm picking them to win it! Friend: "Uh huh I have them in the championship game". 3/21: "Let's get our applications in for Kansas" Friend: Also Kentucky they real good too" 3/30: "Michigan in the Final Four. Playing Loyola" "What is Loyola?" Friend "Dog its a small school" "They don't have nobody".
