After having been at COTKU last weekend, I find the whole assumption
that there were "killer grad students" demolishing the field
laughable. While there were certainly some good grad players there,
none were really dominating, and, if anything, the grad-heavy teams
that were there didn't do so well.
I presume that the original poster's comments on grad-heavy teams
were directed at the teams with noticeably older players on them-
probably Virginia Tech and Indiana. Neither of those teams, if I
remember right, even finished in the top three.
