And the NCAA allows CBS to STILL rig the schedule so that Duke and Notre Dame are force fed to a national audience at the best afternoon time slot, and the last six games are crammed into a four hour window.

Selfish, backwards arse thinking like this is the reason why traditional over the air broadcast networks are dying.

I love how it's set up.

And they put Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana all at night, soooooo I think this is stupid.

Turner is owned by Time Warner. Not CBS.

By this point, I'm a little burned out and don't want to be watching much past 6:00 tonight. When CBS had exclusive rights, they packed more games into less time for the second round, I think. I can't complain that we get to see every game now, but today is too spread out for me.

Wasn't there a merger few years ago with CBS and Time/Warner?

I knew Turner himself had tried to buy CBS long ago

They are on four networks and the players get so much of that TV money. It's awesome

I just wish they move another game to the afternoon for the 2nd round. I hate how the first two games of the day are at the same site and then pile up the rest of the games at night.
