22:07Now PlayingAn F-15 fighter jet flying over Iran was apparently shot down by the country’s military – and, as this afternoon, one of the two pilots was still missing. Reporting from Doha, NBC News Foreign Correspondent Raf Sanchez breaks down how the existence of a military prisoner could change Iran’s leverage in negotiations and its power over the most valued bargaining chip, the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, the American Gambling Association estimates that this year fans will legally bet more than $3 billion on the March Madness tournaments– a 54% increase over the past three years. And more bets can also mean more harassment for student athletes. The NCAA’s managing director of administrative services, Clint Hangebrauck, talks about the mental health challenges players face and what they are doing to ensure that the wagers don’t impact the integrity of student sports.
