Cinderella Update
By my calculations there are 4 true Cinderella teams — that is, teams from schools that have not awarded an undergraduate degree to a single billionaire — remaining in the NCAA Tournament: Butler, UNLV, Southern Illinois, and Pittsburgh. Here is the billionaire breakdown of the Sweet 16:
USC (8) — Bradley Hughes, George Lucas, Edward Roski, Jr., Igor Olenicoff, Alan Casden, Scott Clark, Marc Benioff, Thomas Barrack
UCLA (7) — Steven Udvar-Hazy, , Alfred Mann, A. Jerrold Perenchio, Henry Nicholas III, Henry Samueli, John Anderson, Louis Gonda
Oregon (2) — Philip Knight, Timothy Boyle
Texas A&M (2) — George Mitchell, L. Lowry Mays
UNC (1) — Julian Robertson
Florida (1) — Jerry Zucker
Vanderbilt (1) — Thomas Frist, Jr.
Tennessee (1) — Charles Ergen
Kansas (1) — Philip Anschutz
Ohio State (1) — Leslie Wexner
Georgetown (1) — Michael Heisley, Sr.
Memphis (1) — Nancy Walton Laurie
Butler (0)
UNLV (0)
