TV Time
March Madness may not bring in the same viewership as the Super Bowl, but cable companies are likely to see a boost in ratings as viewers tune in to measure the success of their brackets.
Providers like CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS) and Time Warner Cable Inc (NYSE: TWC) are probably anticipating the tournament just as much the participants in your office pool.

The Super Bowl no longer has the monopoly on ad space either. This year's tournament is likely to give several big brands a great deal of exposure from team gear to ad-spots.
This year, sports brands Nike Inc (NYSE: NKE) and Under Armour are expected to be major players.
Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD) is emerging as a top seed for ‘best advertising campaign' during the game. The company has been marketing itself as "The official hangout for March Madness" for years, but this time around B-Dubs is using social media to up customer engagement and gain brand recognition.
The campaign includes tv-ads, social media-friendly invites to the bar and its own hashtag: #wingwisdom. Once inside a location, customers can engage in basketball-themed games and compete to win prizes.
Upsets On The Court Could Translate To Losses
For some, the March Madness tournament is reason to stay away from market participation. A study in the Journal of Finance showed that countries' stock markets suffered if their teams lost an important competition.
Though March Madness is composed of only U.S. teams, negative sentiment had a much greater impact than positive, meaning that bracket upsets could translate into share market losses.
