The CBSSports.com College Network is powering the official athletic department websites of 36 schools in the NCAA men's basketball tournament field, most among competing vendors but down from the record 44 teams it had a year ago. However, the company this year also has its highest concentration of higher-seeded teams in the field, representing 14 of the top 16 schools in the tournament. That is in part a result of several years of working to expand its market share within the six BCS college conferences. "This is another validation of our strategy to go after the biggest brands in college sports," said CBSSports.com College Network Senior VP/University Sales & Marketing Rob Schupler. The following is a breakdown of the website partners of all 68 teams in the tournament.
