FAYETTEVILLE — “Variety” is reporting that CBS and Turner TV outlets have signed a deal to produce and telecast the NCAA Basketball Tournament for 14 years for $10.8 billion. Here’s the link, www.variety.com/article/VR1118018159.html?categoryid=14&cs=1. Feel free to discuss.

That’s an incredible amount of dough. With the tournament going to 96 teams in 2011, maybe the Hogs will have the chance to dance during March Madness again in the near future. Let’s hope so anyway.
