zippy5 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Committee to release "in-season bracket." I like the idea. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I like the concept, but hate the fact they only list the top 16 (Top 25%). It would be like the CFP committee hosting a show and only telling us 1 of the 4 teams in. They could at least give us a top 40-50 so that we could see what teams are in the bubble discussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Nevermind I stand corrected. I thought they released the whole bracket later, but that's a projection from Palm. That is lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I hope they will be able to get some advertising revenue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I think this will massively backfire if their goal is more ad revenue. People are going to find out who is in, and find out the brackets when they print them off later in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already over saturated with this crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 You might be underestimating the number of people who Gamble in this country, and want to soak up every opportunity to gather as much expert analysis of the games and the brackets as possible. I don't know. March Madness is one of the most popular sporting spectacles of the year in this country. You might be giving Americans too much credit if you think they won't glue themselves to a TV screen for 2 hours for something that is now such a big part of our sports culture.

zippy5 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I know one thing for certain. A bunch of bubble teams' fans will be turning their TVs off after the first segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this. The NIT is a joke. Under the current system the MAC is a one bid conference to the NCAA and now a potential no bid conference for the NIT. The Rockets got screwed. It will be interesting to see if the MAC issues a statement but I don't have much faith in that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
