Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3898065, member: 591"] There is a lot of truth in what you say, although the future plans are consolidating the Sweet 16 / Elite 8, rather than the opening rounds which will continue to be earned and which is when wrap-around occurs. But the reason for wrap-around is not what you say - obviously, all games were televised in their entirety, with upwards to 4 games going on at once. What ESPN did was select just parts to show to the nationwide audience, thus not using up space on multiple stations. As I noted above, the separate feeds (which were broadcast in their entirety to school's home areas) were available nationally on some "one use" stations on DirecTV (in the same area as NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB Extra Innings, etc are broadcast).
