March Madness bandwidth rant

2008 could be a trend-setting year with all of the games available for viewing. I dunno about this whole "lost productivity," or the bandwidth question though. I'd think that there wouldn't be nearly as many people into the whole March Madness thing if it weren't for the proliferation of the somehow-legalized betting plague known as "office pools." People who've not watched a single college hoops game all year are suddenly ravenous for information about a sport they probably couldn't recite a single rule for. You want to save on your bandwidth? Don't let your people post the bracket pools. It's really that simple. The number of people in an office who actually care about the teams involved are very likely greatly outnumbered by the people sucked into the marketing hooplah just to "check on their bracket."
