Thank God I live in a country where websites that stream live video of the NCAA tournament have a "Boss Button" available.
For the record, I watched none of the NCAA tournament live on the internet while at work. I will not comment further. I'm not here to talk about the past.
In the U.S., you get nostalgic sportswriters and bloggers writing about how good it was when they skipped school or listened to the World Series during school.
Funny, there wasn't a middle school in Korea where they weren't showing every Korean second-round game on the classroom TVs. Unfortunately I was told I couldn't cancel my college class (no TV there) for the US/South Korea game, so instead my girlfriend sent me text message updates every inning and I wrote those up on the chalkboard.
In El Paso we took the NCAA Tournament seriously... when I was a kid they used to set up a TV in the cafeteria so everybody could watch the UTEP game. There would probably literally have been a riot otherwise.
No such luck with the baseball playoffs, but hey, that's what transistor radios are for, right?
I showed about 2-3 minutes of the Korea-US game when Hee Seop hit his 3 run bomb, and somehow incorporated it into my lecture about supply and demand... that's the beauty of teaching econ... you can actually incorporate whatever you want into your lecture and it's relevant!

(Rim shot! Thanks, try the veal!)
er, sorry, the proper question there is:
"Why would they go to school instead of watching the game on HDTV?"
Ahh, a young Bruce Kison hitting three batters.

I like how the CBS "Boss Button" brings up a spreadsheet, it's reminiscent of the old computer games in the 80s.
