Art ,

I, sitting here trying to figure out how SAS can say "Two business professors and self-professed sports fanatics are trying to take some of the madness out of the month – and in the process provide insight into how technology solves critical business problems."

What critcal business problem did they solve and for whom? The best I can figure is they are solving a Bookies business decision, does that mean SAS now supports gambling? Geeez the PR person needs some serious help.
