You may have heard, but the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament starts today.

CBS Corporation CBS is the official rightsholder of the tournament. These next few weeks will be a big deal for them, as ad revenue from March Madness topped $1 billion in 2016.

With the tournament comes the annual tradition of filling out brackets. Unfortunately, the CBS website and app are both down. Yes, on arguably site's biggest traffic day of the year, its servers have crashed. As expected, people are not happy.
