Should be easy to handle though, they've only been publishing this thing for a century. They know what the traffic surge is going to be, they can scale.

I also work in software. 20 minutes of scaling ~16 times a year seems like a no brainer. Probably doesn't cost them that much all things considered and it could be argued protects one of the most important brands in college football.

Yeah, sure. But I get your point. I guess it just depends on how much they value brand image. You're probably right, some suit somewhere just says no and that's all there is to it.

Idk how much it would actually cost, but I can’t imagine the Associated Press is strapped with cash

Strapped for cash, or flush with cash?
