Did you know that Mike Francesa is in the know?
Francesa, a popular (and rather kooky) radio host for CBS-owned WFAN, said Monday that he has information about who leaked the 2016 NCAA Tournament bracket before it was officially unveiled during CBS Sports’ Selection Sunday coverage. He wouldn’t spill the beans, though, saying he wasn’t allowed to reveal too much information.
The leaked bracket caused a stir Sunday on social media. It hit the Internet around 6:30 p.m. ET (about midway through CBS’ Selection Sunday show) and ended up being accurate, with some college players and coaches even learning their tournament fate that way.
A CBS spokesperson told ESPN that the network wouldn’t have any comment on the leaked bracket. The NCAA, meanwhile, said in a statement that it was investigating the situation.
If anyone really wants answers, however, apparently all they need to do is ask Francesa. Then again, they’ll need to pry the information out of him, as he’s staying tight-lipped for the time being despite teasing everyone with his abundance of knowledge on the topic.
