FWP: ESPN used to post all the conf tourney brackets. Now they link to the conf sites which often aren't updated.

Some fill it in as it progresses. Some don't. The latter is useless to me.

Responses:

Websites for Conferences are notoriously haphazard and an afterthought outside of marketing. -- nm - budice Mar 15, 06:01 2
- I guess ESPN got tired of paying some intern to maintain their own data store. -- nm - na-Baron Mar 15, 06:07 1
  - More of $$ conference agreement linking to the conference site as a promo tool. There's also ownership of data and orgs wanting $$$ for the data (pga tour: yahoo sports golf scoreboard links to pga tour site) -- nm* - budice Mar 15, 06:18
