we all know football is the cash cow but don't think for a second basketball isn't a huge factor in major college sports moving forward. CBS/Turner will pay over a billion dollars per year for the right to air the tournament....

What was your cut, harry - and will you donate that to the IPF?

Am I the only one who thinks ESPN would do a 100x better job of airing the tourney? I hate having to find [deleted] TruTV every 51 weeks

I remember watching Mark Emmert in an interview say that the NCAA Tournament was the largest revenue producing event in the NCAA. Glad they signed a new contract.

Nah, overall that would be Costas. Maybe he'll get the Zika virus in Rio and his skull will shrink down to the size of his brain.
