Precision Timing
Can we finally get 'Precision Timing' into this years NCAA tournament or will politics prevail again?

Wouldn't count on it

Don't think so. It's not on their website.

It's all a money thing.

Exactly, it's not politics so much as licensing rights, from what I understand.

Until something happens that PTS would have avoided, I doubt the NCAA will spend the cash.

They spend the money for it in the NIT which is owned by the NCAA.

Are you kidding???? "Somethings" happen every year! How much time wasted last year, reviewing video to determine how much time to put on the clock?

They spend thousands and thousands, if not millions, of dollars every year for NCAA floors at each venue. PT for the entire tourney wouldn't cost nearly as much as one floor.

I agree about the PTS, but don't they store and reuse the floors?
