| [It's payday!] What is March Madness? The NCAA tournament explained |
 |
| What if people cared about what matters? |
March Madness is one of the biggest, most exciting and most fun events in all of sports. Here’s everything you need to know about the NCAA Division 1 men's basketball tournament, which has been played annually since 1939.
What is March Madness?
The NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament is a single-elimination tournament of 68 teams that compete in seven rounds for the national championship. The penultimate round is known as the Final Four, when only (you guessed it) four teams are left.
The first NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament was in 1939, and it has been held every year since.
How has the tournament changed since 1939?
The inaugural tournament had just eight teams, and saw Oregon beat Ohio State 46-33 for the title...
Where did the term “March Madness” come from?
March Madness was first used to refer to basketball by an Illinois high school official, Henry V. Porter, in 1939, but the term didn’t find its way to the NCAA tournament until CBS broadcaster Brent Musburger (who used to be a sportswriter in Chicago) used it during coverage of the 1982 tournament. The term has been synonymous with the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament ever since. More or how about some NPR

- After they played basketball together, she went to get changed and found him “right behind me, and just like physically very much in my space…He leaned toward me and said, ‘Can I kiss you?’ I said no and backed away, and he kept moving forward and was like, laughing and smiling and sweaty and whatever, and he said, ‘It’s just, we’re playing basketball, you remind me of the girlfriends I had in high school.’ And I just said, ‘Well, we’re not in high school, Sherman.’” Walker said Alexie later apologized. FALLOUT: "After the [shocking] allegations about Alexie surfaced last month, the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe announced that it would be renaming its Sherman Alexie scholarship. Alexie is one of a handful of young adult authors recently accused of sexual harassment, with Maze Runner writer James Dashner dropped by his UK and US publishers after accusations surfaced online...[and] author Jay Asher was dropped by his literary agency...[after "a series of anonymous accusations" though] there had been no finding of sexual harassment."
