I thought this was r/gaming

You didn't say anything in your original comment other than Kentucky is good, get bent. That's why I'm calling you out - to me, either of you could be right or lying. And, newsflash, you haven't proved him wrong. He used a couple sentences to mention names that an interested viewer could use to look up and do their own research. You just said "Kentucky is the best," which is not an argument or proving anything.

As a layman who doesn't give a shit about college basketball, I thought it was interesting. Certainly I had never heard of NIT. Honestly, it just seems strange that someone would get annoyed enough with that statement to comment and defend a college basketball team in the 50s. Like, who cares?

Weird hostility...

I'll be honest, this doesn't seem particularly telling one way or the other. If there was more data about family income/wealth, race, and sex, it might more sense.

As others have said, highly prestigious schools with specific admissions formulae are likely to produce alumni with the money and knowledge to help their kids also get into that school. It isn't totally fair, but unless the admissions specifically gives legacy students a greater chance, it's a more subtle pressure.

Certainly the difference between the schools based on legacy status seems somewhat suspect, however.

They look really good, but describing them as salty instantly put me off
