College Fanz Perfect 10 - Monster March Madness
Bill's blog from February 11, 2009:
Back in 1979, sports on cable TV - 24 hours a day - was thought to be a joke by many people. “It’ll never work,” “Nobody will watch sports 24 hours a day,” “Where will you even find sports to televise around the clock?” were some of the responses. On top of that, there were no 24 hour networks - not ABC, CBS or NBC - back then, HBO was only available 5 hours a night and CNN and MTV didn’t even exist!
ESPN changed all of that - and today, ESPN is a media conglomerate. Now there are countless 24 hour networks up and down your on-screen TV Guide. All-in-all, from “it won’t work” to today, sports fans have been the beneficiaries throughout ESPN’s growth.
Fast forward to 2009 and March Madness! If you ask around, you probably will get a variety of answers about March Madness brackets. Far and away the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship draws virtually all of the attention. Did you know there are nine (9) other post-season tournaments? Each has its own bracket and dedicated followers.
Well, it might not be as dramatic as 24 hours sports in 1979, but here we go again - this time with the 2009 College Fanz Perfect 10. With a single registration you can play any or all of 10 different tournaments. Never before have all 10 post-season basketball championship tournaments been gathered in a single place.
