So after the teams are picked and someone generates a program to do all possible outcomes and submits them all somebody is going to be $1 billion richer, seems reasonable to me. Wonder how good my mail server would handle that volume? :D

This is exactly the first thing that I thought.

There is no way this is going to work. There are ton of programming nerds out there like myself that will write up a simple program to accomplish this in no time.

Someone told me today that there are over a trillion different combinations for the bracket.

I now no longer believe a program would be able to generate all of them.

The chance of winning the whole thing is in the quintillions to one range. Virtually no chance.
