They sell the myth, but the reality means teams that draw the most eyeballs.
VCU and Butler have made it to the Final Four within the past few years. The whole marketing scheme of the tournament is that anything can happen.

Butler was not really a cinderella the same way Gonzaga was not. How many 13 - 16 seeds ever made the final four since they went to 64 teams in 1985? The first round blowouts could get better ratings and fill venues if the games were not snoozers. When they sell an opening round book for 300 and you can pick up tickets on the street for 20 bucks you have crapped up your live demand.
The opening round only works because they can rotate games for the 1 or 2 that might be viewable. Problem is when you are sitting there live stuck in one of the 80% that blow and not TV to tune in other games you just don't want to spend the money.
