March Madness Meltdowns, Waffle Bet & A Bracket Cheating Scandal

TL;DR

The New Heights crew recaps their March Madness brackets, argues over Jason's alleged cheating, and debates a Waffle House punishment for the losers.

Key Points

• 1.Aaron had a historically bad bracket performance. He scored zero points in the round of 32, missing all 16 games — worse than random coin-flip odds — leading the group to suspect he used the auto-fill feature.
• 2.Travis lost the women's bracket with only 68 points and no remaining picks. He blamed the loss partly on trusting Iowa due to his connection with Caitlyn Clark, admitting he 'let it get to this point.'
• 3.A major cheating accusation was leveled at Jason. Travis and others claimed Jason hadn't submitted his bracket before the show, used the on-air Final Four discussion to finalize his picks, and allegedly had his friend Cory Sims — a former equipment manager for Cincinnati — fill it out for him.
• 4.Jason defended himself by calling it 'teamwork,' not cheating. He admitted consulting Cory Sims because he doesn't follow college basketball, arguing he was transparent about it and gave Cory full credit rather than pretending the picks were his own.
• 5.The Waffle House punishment became a chaotic debate. The proposed punishment — eating waffles at Waffle House where each waffle equals one hour — was disputed because California has no Waffle Houses, the group couldn't agree on who lost both brackets, and Travis suggested a drinking punishment instead.
