March on down for 40% off

Light the Rothstein beacons

The most annoying part of being an adult (age 30, white, middle class) is a very obvious thing: the “jump to recipe” section of literally every recipe you find on the Internet anymore. If I wanted to read your life story, I’d ask for the life story! If I wanted to hear about how an emotional breakdown led to the best cacio e pepe you’ve produced, then I would ask for that. Recipe me.

In that spirit, I’ve no interest in making you scroll for the recipe. Here’s the juice: we have a NEW PRICING STRUCTURE! for the 2024 NCAA Tournament. These are the details.

All new paid signups, through March 31, can get in for just $18/year. That’s 40% off the standard price. For the data and analysis you will get - every single day of March, there will be a new post on this newsletter, including the NCAA Tournament weekends - I think that is a fair shake. Last year’s price was lower; I think I undershot it. You don’t have to click a special link; just sign up below.

What this will get you is the following:

• Analysis on all 67 games (First Four included!) of the NCAA Tournament.

• Bracket recommendations. Try as I might, I’m not above it.

• Odds boards and the like, along with the value picks I find versus the nation’s selections.

• Historical analysis of who is most likely to…

  • Win the title.

  • Make the Final Four.

  • Bow out early.

  • Make a Cinderella run.

• Tournament data that, as far as I can find, has not been published or discussed in any other outlet on the net.

• Regrettably for about half of you, in-depth previews of every Tennessee game. At least they’re relevant this March!

• And much more, including a possible guest post or two.

Long-time followers know that as the bracket is revealed, I do real-time odds using KenPom data for each team. That will stay this year, along with some other things I’ve dreamed up.

That is why I’d sign up. I really do believe that for the money, this is the very best Substack $18 can buy. If the dollar amount itself is problematic for you, please email statsbywill@gmail.com and I would love to work something out. I’ve been short on cash many a time in my life, and leaving someone out because they can’t afford it isn’t what I want to do.

That is one option. Here is another, the first-ever promotion in the seven-year history of this website/newsletter. This is Stats by Trill.

You know Trilly Donovan, the world’s most mysterious burner account. You may or may not know that he has a Discord channel titled Burner Ball, which is where you can find all of the intel and scoops he provides. I find this extremely crucial especially during coaching carousel and transfer portal season, both of which are coming up.

If you are a Burner Ball member, you can sign up through the link I’ve provided in the Discord channel to be a Stats by Will subscriber for $12/year. The Discord itself is $6/month. Essentially, you get access to both for the month of March for the same price as the newsletter alone. If you’re interested in that at all, I recommend signing up through there.

One more time before I forget.

Enough blabbing, it’s March and I have a preview and a watchlist to write. As a reward for getting this far, enjoy this recipe my wife and I have used several times now that is very good. If food’s not your thing here’s a video.

Let us March. Free Week continues tomorrow with a Tennessee/Alabama preview.
