If your bracket was ruined by the Kansas shocker this weekend, perhaps you'll be looking for something else to talk about at commercial breaks. Here's somewhere to start: an awesome infographic by Fast Company that looks at the financial impact of the NCAA finals, from website traffic spikes at related websites, to host-city revenue generation, to betting pool jackpots. The takeaway? There are lots of winners when March Madness rolls around.As Mac Montandon puts it:
Unlike the Super Bowl, which creates a windfall for a single city and a handful of prominent players, the college games spread the wealth all over the country. To wit: this fast-breaking graphic displaying how everyone from media behemoths like CBS to a little pub in Buffalo, NY, to you and me are making the most of the madness. Talk about passing the bucks!Infographic by Rob Vargas for Fast Company.
