Why can't they wait?

Hmmmm, I thought I answered that question, didn't I?
The Big `10 game didn't end until 5:35pm. The show was at 6:00. CBS has to receive the brackets in time to prepare their TV graphics and [re[are their analysts. My guess is that CBS gets the brackets at least an hour before the show starts, maybe longer.
I bet we see a change next year, since the Chairman admitted such on live TV.
