Dear Dawg: There is an OFFICE POOL going on here, involving the NCAA tournament.  I have it on good authority that money is being wagered! Isn’t this illegal?  Especially on public school property????  I’M NOT IN ON IT, BUT I HEAR A LOT OF TALK ABOUT KENTUCKY.

DEAR I’M NOT IN: Well, maybe it is illegal, but the Dawg has never seen local prosecutors get too excited about March Madness pools.  Maybe that’s because they are all in one!

We think your bigger problem is if the Office for Civil Rights finds out that your office pool is only for the men’s tournament, and does not include one of equal value for the women.  Those humorless bureaucrats at OCR will bust you for that quicker than you can say “Title IX!”  So either do two pools or none at all.

DAWG BONE: LOOK FOR A “DEAR COLLEAGUE” LETTER ON THIS SOON.
