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.

Funny that you mention this because i do R&D for a company that created these graphics that you're talking about. All that needs to happen is that the info you want is in a database (or even a text file) and the application, RTX [utl]http://www.inscriber.com/products/Broadcast%20Graphics%20Toolkit/RTX/index.html[/url] will read that info and create the graphics for you. In essence, the design of the layout could have been done ahead of time and then once that info is available, presto, it's done. I'm sure that I could type in a text file within 25 minutes.
Should I cc: this to CBS?
Maybe make a sale on RTX.
