Good for Lunardi.
And it's not fun to say, but good for ESPN.   They gave the masses of fans something to happily waste time on with bracketology and put a face on it.  So simple and so profitable.
Now which will be the first school to offer a course in bracketology?

Lunardi already teaches one at St. John's, no?

An online course, just concluded on March 10.  Looks like anyone could apply for the $99 fee.

Most have requirements of a minimum number of credit hours or years attended.  For example, most have a minimum criteria of at least two semesters.  Some require 2 years.  Others go further in their definition.
