  The NCAA basketball tournament: Hard pressed to profit | University Relations
The NCAA tournament, "March Madness", or should one say "March/early April Madness", has been for years among the top echelon of American sports events which includes, among others, the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals and the College Football Championship.
To put things in perspective, when the tournament expanded 20 years ago to the current 64 teams, CBS garnered an average 9.8 rating (a percentage of total U. television homes) for all of its tournament telecasts in 1985 and the Championship game—Villanova’s upset win over Georgetown—received a 23.3 rating.
The highest rating ever for the tournament was a 10.3 in 1983 and the best-ever championship game rating was in 1979 when Magic Johnson led Michigan State to their 75-64 victory over Indiana State and Larry Bird.

 NCAA Basketball Tournament 2001
With the split of the Western Athletic Conference last summer, the formation of the new Mountain West Conference by the former WAC schools, and the addition of the new conference's automatic tournament bid, the NCAA tournament committee decided instead of taking away one of the 34 at-large bids that they would add a play-in game.
So the committee picked the 64th (Northwestern St.) and 65th (Winthrop) ranked tournament schools and decreed that they play each other for the right to get creamed by one-seed Illinois in the first round of the tournament.
The last time the tournament staged a play-in game was 1991 when teams from the six lowest ranked conferences in the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) played for three berths.

 NCAA Basketball Tournament
The public, considered "squares" by those behind the betting counter, have always bet the favorites at such a high rate during the NCAA Basketball Tournament that the bookies must "shade" the favorite or add points to the line, therefore giving more value to the underdog.
But for the first two rounds of the tournament, there are so many squares betting the games that the handle that comes in from these public bettors far outweighs the handle that comes from the professionals or "wise guys." The public, at least at the Stardust, didn't follow their usual pattern this year.
