The best postseason in sports has arrived. March Madness is finally upon us, and for fans of the 68-team competition, that means watching up to four games simultaneously to keep up with all the action. Thanks to CBS and TNT Sports, that is now easier than ever with the March Madness Live app and YouTube TV’s multi-view option.
However, for those fortunate enough to enjoy multiple screens at home, a sports bar, or a sportsbook, it can become quite frustrating. Scoreboards at the top of the screen displaying scores from other ongoing games can often appear ahead of the action on another screen. There’s nothing worse than watching one game and glancing at the scoreboard only to realize it’s a possession or two ahead of what you’re watching.
This frustration did not go unnoticed by the avid March Madness fans at Barstool Sports.

It’s not rocket science @CBSSportsCBB @truTV @TBSNetwork @tntsports Just put everything back 30 seconds so you don’t ruin the games for everybody watching them all. How stupid are the people who work for you guys you haven’t figured out the score bugs ruin the games? https://t.co/b2wSZrZIR0

A simple solution for CBS and TNT Sports would be to delay the scoreboards by 30 seconds to a minute, accommodating any latency discrepancies from different viewing methods. Interestingly, during the opening slate of first-round games, it seemed like the networks may have implemented such a fix. Watch below as Barstool’s Dan “Big Cat” Katz and Dave Portnoy witness this change in real-time.
LEAD FROM THE FRONT!

Whether CBS or TNT took note of Barstool’s complaints or realized the issue independently, it’s reassuring for fans to know they can (hopefully) enjoy the remainder of March Madness without spoilers.
