In the 13 years that ESPN has been hosting brackets online, guess how many have done the whole thing right? Zero.
Guess how many have gotten the Final Four right? Zero.
I also read that Buffet will likely buy out someone if they get close. If you get to the Final Four with everything right, he'd offer you $10m or $100 million to "stop".
Which poses an interesting question - would you take a $10 million buyout? I sure would.
If we're talking some silly game show where I can take a buyout of $1000 or continue on and try to get $100,000, then I'm going to play it through. Simply because $1000 isn't enough to make/break me. Frankly, while $100k will certainly help, it's not going to let me quit my job or make any big decisions. But, $10 million is a lifetime-changer. I'd take it and run.
