ESPN to bid on March Madness?

They could show every early round game nationally and we could all pick which one we want to watch instead of showing the early round games regionally like CBS does.</p>

As much as I love the tournament, it's frustrating - especially during the first weekend - when several games are going on at once and you don't get any say about who you watch.

ESPN > CBS
ESPN2 > CBSC
ESPNU > nothing</p>

Get Directv and the Mega March Madness package. It is the only reason I stick with DTV year after year. Every March when people are whining about what game they are being "forced to watch" by their affiliate, I am watching every game with the Mega March Madness package. That's first weekend AND Sweet Sixteen nights. After that Friday night of the SS, it is all CBS anyway, and just one game at a time.

that ESPN would automatically show them all for free? Doubt it. You might get 2 games instead of 1 (ESPN and ESPN2), but the rest you'd have to order via ESPN Full Court, I bet.

I mean, I know it's not exactly like TV, but you're one HDMI cord away from the next best thing.

I thought they broadcast all the games online.

i may get it this year but i know for a fact that once i do get it i will HAVE to get it every year or i will be disappointed with the entire tournament.

. . . another "pay-up" notice from ESPN raising my monthly charges. Just keep it on CBS.<span style="margin-left: -51px; margin-top: -57px; opacity: 0.25;" class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble smarterwiki-popup-bubble-active"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-body"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-links smarterwiki-clearfix"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-links-row smarterwiki-clearfix"> </span><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-links-row smarterwiki-clearfix"> </span></span></span></span>
