Emmert should be hammered for leak

[Madbiker]

If bracket leak came from someone at NCAA, Emmert must be held accountable for his underlings just like they are making head coaches responsible for everything. He should be suspended and get a post-season ban. Or whatever.

Bingo. Can't hide behind "well, I didn't know about it"...

Somehow he'll blame Fab Melo.

I wonder what actions CBS will take.

Hopefully the action they take is revamping that terrible format for revealing the brackets.

he should be thanked for saving us from the drawn out 2hr "show"

 

[pearl31]

man someone in the media (Bilas?!) has got to go at him with this - either directly or a social media campaign or something!

Who cares? Are you really upset that CBS might have a contract claim against the NCAA because the NCAA's leak may have cost CBS some viewers and devalued the ads that they sold during the program.

I think the whole thing is hilarious. Let CBS and the NCAA squabble about it. As a fan I really couldn't care.

As a fan I was upset that I was not able to experience the final region announcement.

I would have had 1 spot available from 8 teams. It would have been so dramatic... IF it was the old 30 minute format.

CBS killed the drama factor by making it way too long.

They'll probably keep his post-Grad alma mater out of the tournament next year, dock it scholarships and suspend the coach...

I was thrilled it got leaked. Teach CBS a lesson. A classic example of milking advertising dollars as much as you can, viewer experience be damned.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Terrible show. I love EJ, Kenny, and Barkley for the NBA, but keep them out of college basketball. Let Kellogg, Davis, and Gottleib do their job. You know the guys who actually watch the sport.

CBS deserved what they got. I can't imagine what the teams on the bubble thought having to wait 2 hours, my heart was racing before the bracket weas leaked.

We should really hope it teaches the NCAA a lesson.

CBS will do what is needed to get better ratings.

Lack of institutional control...

They need dedicated college analysts on that program, I agree.

The college game is so different than the NBA, you can't just put Charles on to be entertaining. He basically thinks 99.99% of the college players stink and the coaches are bad.

They should release the brackets immediately and then follow up with the predictions.

Lack of institutional control...

Exactly. Even if he didn't know about it or encourage it, its his fault!

 

[Moontan]

The bracket is not in his wheelhouse.

Charles actually said something like, "that guy Larrañaga"as if no one watching may actually know him...

Yeah, he does this to an extent with the NBA, but he has a real disdain for college players/coaches.

To be fair, the college game stinks compared to the current NBA. But that doesn't matter. People are watching to see people have are vested in the college game.

The college game would be a lot better if the NBA did not draft players until after their Sophomore year. Money rules, CBB fans can suck eggs!

Wonder if my little bird in Indianapolis is a canary?

Fwiw, the ratings weren't good yesterday

You are missing his larger point.

 

[HOFCeluck]

In this case the NCAA should be applauded.

 

[Briancuse]

I despise the Ncaa as much as anyone, but I applaud them as well. If you are going to screw your fans like Cbs did, with that joke of a show last night, you deserve everything that is coming to you.

 

[SUintheVille]

Don't worry, the NCAA will have bracketgate figured out in about 8 years. All is well.

 

[upperdeck]

just how many viewers did it really change their viewing habits.. even those on here still watched because for all we knew it was a well played SU hoax.. it wouldnt have taken much to just swap out one team for fun to mess with a fan base.. until I saw SU for real i still had doubt it wasnt some elaborate joke on SU..
