Hypocrisy - Thy Name is NCAA

NCAA president Myles Brand is a piece of work:
In a separate news conference at Ford Field, NCAA president Myles Brand said the organization only prohibits gambling on college and professional sports But Brand said he would prefer athletes don't gamble at the casinos.

"Well, I warn against that slippery slope. It's a fair question," said Brand, who was not asked specifically about Lawson. "What a student does, play bingo in his church for example, while we discourage that, we prefer not to try and regulate that particular kind of activity. But it's highly discouraged."
Did any reporter have the brains or balls to follow up by asking Brand about all the gambling associated with March Madness brackets? Does Brand try to discourage broadcast partner CBS from offering brackets and bracket contests (for amusement only wink wink) for instance?
