Interesting tidbit!
The Kentucky Wildcats have won the NCAA men's basketball title 7 times. The last 6 times they've won it (1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, 1998), the New York Yankees have won the World Series that same year.
Why is this statistically meaningless? Because since 1948, the Yankees have won the World Series 15 times, meaning they have won more often WITHOUT the Wildcats winning than with them winning. But it also means that every time the Wildcats win, the Yankees win.
So, since correlation equals causation, let's go Wildcats!
