    March Madness fans rejoice!
    Okay you sicko gamblers----

    Start celebrating.

    CBS announced that a partnership with TBS, TNT and TruTv will allow them to televise every single game of the NCAA Tourney.

    NEW YORK -- College basketball fans will see a whole lot more of the NCAA tournament on TV this March, including during prime time on the first Sunday night, according to a report.
    CBS and Turner Sports, in the first year of a joint 14-year, $10.8 billion deal to broadcast the tournament, will announce Thursday that fans will get to see all games in their entirety thanks to staggered tip-off times and expanded coverage in the early rounds, USA Today is reporting.
    Games will be seen on CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV, allowing organizers to spread out start times in contrast to the regional coverage offered in years past. CBS executive vic e president Mike Aresco told the paper the plan is to "create nonstop basketball from noon [ET] to midnight."
    The tournament is expanding from 65 to 68 teams this year.

          Are they still offering it?

          I didn't think they were offering it this year.

                                    This is old news. We'll see how this plays out before getting too excited. When television gets involved, you can count on something getting screwed up.
