It's that time of year. A time when sports fanatics, casual fans, and those who haven't even watched a single tip-off all year come together and fill out their brackets. And then of course sweat it when one of their final four teams gets the boot.
The NCAA tournament has become one of the most exciting and fun sporting events in America, right up there with the Superbowl and World Series. How could it not be with the upsets, the cinderella stories, and the teams you love to hate.
This was the first year that every single game of the NCAA tournament was broadcasted on television for everyone to see on four different stations, CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV. Switching up the way the games were broadcasted proved to be genius as ratings hit an eleven year high.
While many of the "big name" programs are out (Pittsburgh, Michigan State, UCLA, Louisville, and Duke) I think it's safe to say viewers are in good hands with teams like Butler (once again) blazing a trail to the Final Four and we can expect ratings to continue to soar.
