As a side note...I'm reading "Bringing Down the House" (the book about the MIT blackjack team). Pretty good book.

Default Short question

Were they math students or engineering students?

I believe that there was a mix of many types of students on the MIT Blackjack teams and even a few non-students if memory serves. To answer your original question, the reason that the MIT Blackjack teams got so much TV time is the level of organization that they had and that they were so well financed. Everyone likes a good spy/detective story, so theirs made for compelling TV.
