Those staggering numbers mean that online viewership is already up 20% over last year's figures, and apparently a large majority of you have no problem watching from work. In fact, the always clever "Boss Button" -- a one-click option to hide your guilty pleasure -- has already received 1.7 million clicks.

So far the most-watched game via March Madness On Demand was Florida vs. BYU. The game -- which BYU won in double-overtime -- was streamed for a total of 521,000 hours across all online viewers. That's up 50% over last year's top-streamed game on day one.
