March 15, 200818 yr Maybe the SEC should start its tourney on Wednesday instead of Thursday in the future. Would give them a day in case something like this happens again. I'm sure all the fans would appreciate the extra $200-$300 that would cost them.

March 15, 200818 yr WOW. CNN reported one of the scenarios discussed is playing the SEC title game Monday and releasing the brackets Monday night. I don't think it will happen, but for it to even be considered as a scenario is interesting. Sounds good to me.
March 15, 200818 yr Isn't there a big break in the NCAA tournament once it gets by the first couple of rounds. Why not shorten the break. Because ads are sold in the Thursday-Sunday block and set in based on ratings. People take off work, fly cross country and so on. The answer to your questions? Money. Accept it and deal...
March 15, 200818 yr CNN just reported the possibility of the SEC playing the championship game on MONDAY and pushing back the Selection Show to Monday evening...

March 15, 200818 yr I don't hear many problems with the final day of the Sweet 16... Of course, both teams in the title game are playing their second game of the day. FWIW, I think it's enough to have one game early in the morning and the other later on that night if that can be accommodated. Anything relating to Sunday is out of the question.
March 15, 200818 yr And that's why you don't get sports news from CNN... :lol: I do miss the old days when Nick Charles sat in Fred Hickman's lap on their cramped set to deliver highlights :lol:

March 15, 200818 yr The one thing is if they had a contract with a big network for the whole tournament I bet they would have played tonight.
