Why does CBS always show the game I least want to watch?

Question

I'm stuck watching the Louville vs. Stanford game, which isn't close (although it is still early) while the Maryland vs.Davison game is on. Maryland vs.Davison one of the the most interesting games of the tournement. It's got a big name school vs. a no name school with a high potential for an upset. I'm not from Kentucky or California, so I don't understand why they wouldn't show this game over Louville vs. Stanford.

Answer 1

They have the Boston College/Texas Tech game on my station. I would say to go to CBS Sportsline, but I haven't been able to get on their. The website has been extremely slow.

Answer 2

Get the DirectTV package next year and your problem will go away because you will be able to see any game (the first 3 rounds) in its entirety. CBS has 8 teams of announcers covering the 1st and 2nd rounds and your local station decides to show the game with the most regional interest.

For example, if you live in any PAC-10 member state or any Big East member state (like Louisville), you were seeing the Louisville/Stanford matchup. People in DC and MD saw the Maryland/Davidson game, etc.

Answer 3

Well buddy, I think it is important to note that CBS is ran by a group of grey heads that have no idea about anything, other than the price is right and all my children. CBS is the biggest load of poor sports analysis. Their NFL and College Football coverage is worth about two cents. CBS is a degenerate excuse for a tv station. I hate it and I hope you realize that is a debauched, lunatic-ran, freak show, grey head produced tv station that needs to be taken off the air.


Thanks.

Answer 4

The CBS bigwigs went to Stanford.

Answer 5

they have a contract that says what games they are going to show. just pay a few and get the march madness is like 40 bucks

Answer 6

It usually just shows the closest regional action in your area. I hear you though it is usually always the one you care the least about or in this case is a blow out!
