How is the internet changing March Madness?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

SB Nation editor in chief Elena Bergeron talks with Recode’s Kara Swisher about the 2018 NCAA men’s basketball tournament — a.k.a. March Madness — and how other major sporting events like the Olympics and the NFL are being reshaped by tech. Bergeron says it’s easier than ever to be an “over-the-top” fan and watch as much of the NCAA tournament as you want, regardless of where you live, and explains how the entry of companies like Amazon, Facebook and YouTube will change sports broadcasting in the future. She also talks about online betting, bracket challenges and how social media has upturned the relationship among fans, players and the media. Plus: Why aren’t college athletes paid for playing?
