Inside the Madness: Basketball, Brackets and Business

As March Madness nears tipoff, CNN Anchor and Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? host Chris Wallace dives deeply into the annual event that dominates the country, transforms non-fans into fervent NCAA acolytes, and turns the term "Bracketology" into a science. Wallace sits down with new NCAA President Charlie Baker in his first televised interview since taking over the organization. In a wide-ranging conversation, he explores Baker's plans and how he is dealing with the significant changes in college sports – like players getting paid and how to make the tournament more equitable for women.

Wallace brings in several stakeholders ranging from coaches to players to big-name experts, including Jim Boeheim, the Hall of Famer and former head coach of the men's Syracuse Orange, leading them to win the National Championship, and later named Associated Press Coach of the Year; TNT sports commentator and former NBA player Kenny Smith; ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas; ESPN radio host, NBA analyst, and former NBA player Jay Williams; and basketball Hall of Famer and retired Notre Dame women's coach Ann "Muffet" McGraw, to discuss gender parity and the future of the sport.

The Price is Right, originally hosted by Bob Barker until 2007 and Drew Carey thereafter -- features a wide variety of games and contests with the same basic challenge: Guess the prices of everyday (or not-quite-everyday) retail items. Four contestants, all of whom are seated in one of the wildest audiences in daytime game-show history, are called to the stage to play a preliminary pricing round. That winner joins the host on stage for one of more than 70 different pricing games. After three such games, the contestants spin a big wheel -- hoping to get as close to $1 as possible -- in the "Showcase Showdown". The two highest winners of that round advance to the final, where prizes could be cars or roomsful of furniture. A trio of models presents the prizes.
