Sixteen games a day for two days.
Every hotel is sold out.
Every sports book is overflowing with people. A couple of congressmen, Democrat Tim Roemer of Indiana and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, soon are expected to sponsor such a bill in the House, while two Republican senators, John McCain of Arizona and Sam Brownback of Kansas, are expected to offer their version in the Senate. Naturally, that beacon of American sanctimony, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which has a billion dollar television contract with CBS for its basketball tournament, is the motivating force behind such legislation. There are also thousands of illegal bookmakers in this country one easily can reach to place a wager. And if a person is so inclined, he or she always can trek down to Mexico, where sports books can be found in all the major cities.
