Is there any record on how the Index is doing?

Thanks, pm530, I really enjoy these reports!!

1) How in the name of Pete is Vitale nominated for Basketball Hall of Fame, but not Jerry Tarkanian?
If you tell me Tark cheated, 1) Prove it, and 2) Eddie Sutton is nominated, which erases that argument altogether. No Tark in the Hall of Fame is plain stupid, or as my chemistry teacher in high school used to say, "That is nonsensical."

Also, what about Guy V Lewis at Houston? 5 Final Fours, 3 of the NBA top 50 of all time ( tied with Dean Smith for the most)

Could it be that noone can forgive Lewis for his Coogs letting the one slip away v Valvano and Co?

Is there any record on how the Index is doing?

I can't find one, meaiken. At Dunkel's website, you can find out how they did for last season, but that's all I could find. For instance, in '05-'06 NCAAB, they show they were 73.5% SU and 57.1% ATS. I couldn't find any record of this season anywhere, though.
