Internet creates new age of brakettology

With selection Sunday right around the corner sports fans are gearing up for the grueling task of filling out their NCAA tournament brackets.
Ten years ago the only way one might of had to research the teams involved would have been to look at the standings in the newspaper or maybe read about teams in a college basketball magazine. But now with the Internet, all of the information that you could possibly think about needing to know when picking your teams is right there at your finger tips and if you’re cocky about your college basketball knowledge you can put your money where your mouth is much more conveniently with online betting pools.
What the Internet has done for fan involvement in the NCAA tournament is actually quite unbelievable. Before all there was one game on television at a time and hardly any way of fallowing the rest of the games. Now you can not only get in game stats of all of the action on the court, you can get up to the minute analysis about any team involved.
To be honest it is hard to imagine all of the excitement surrounding the tournament without Internet. The interest has grown to a level where anyone can fallow along with the excitement and it has made the month of March arguably the most engaging month in any American sport. I am usually the kind of person to say that the Internet is negative when it comes to things that I am interested in, but when it comes to March madness I am all for it.
