NCAA Thursday

So today is the beginning of the NCAA tournament. Millions of people have completed their brackets to pick who they think (or hope) will make it to the Final Four. Millions of dollars will be bet on the outcome of these games. Millions of dollars will be distributed to the participating colleges. Millions of dollars will be spent on advertising. Millions of dollars will be spent on tickets, airfare, hotels, restaurants, and merchandise. Millions of dollars will be going into the local economies of the lucky cities that are hosting these games, especially the ones that get to host the regional finals, and the Final Four! College football officials should take a took at what happens every year during what everyone knows is March Madness. This is college sports at it's finest. No other college sport generates this kind of excitement, this kind of following, this kind of revenue. So bring it on CBS. I'm ready! I'm ready to win my $1 million that Yahoo Sports is giving away to the person that correctly picks all the winners. Heck, I'll just take the $10 grand for having the best bracket in the USA. OK, where's my remote?
