NCAA tournament pool / Fundraiser

[darbytee]

Is anyone interested in setting up an NCAA tournament pool this year? We could make a $10 buy-in with half of the money going back to the IAP. I haven't really looked too far into the feasability of this, I just wanted to check the interest level first.

you could use any one of the several tournament brackets on the internet like the one Yahoo! uses. Then keep track of each paricipants score. Just a thought.
Do a good turn daily!

Need to check the "legality" of it as well (on-line gambling was recently banned).

That's what I was thinking Don. In fact, I just created a private group on the yahoo tournament pick'em that could be used.

As far as the legality, I couldn't find anything specific that says yes or no. Any lawyers or internet police (or people with better search engine skills than me []) care to chime in?

The way the Arkansas Razorbacks are playing, there is no good bet. They have had a losing season and in past three days in the SEC tourney have won three straight. If they win one more and get to the big dance, the odds are out the window.
