Plus, the NCAA tourney is wildy popular because of how conducive it is to gambling. Everyone and their grandma fills out a bracket in some sort of pool. Can you imagine anyone but the most hardcore hoops fans attempting to fill out a 128 team bracket?


This is about the best point of all of this. Joe Blow sports fan really isn't much of a sports fan accept when it is cool to do so. (See Dallas Stars fans a few years ago). The current bracket is a lot to tackle...........128 teams would be a nightmare to fill out.
