This is the only thing many college-aged men, or all men actually, will be able to talk about until after April 4th.
And even after that, no promises that the basketball talk will stop. I’ve had professors in class suggest that everybody should know a little bit about politics, current events, art, literature, and sports so that you are always able to hold a conversation with anyone you meet. In the same sense, you should definitely make it a point, even if sports isn’t your “thing”, to catch a few minutes of the tournament when it airs to help conversation flow during the tournament season. Here's
Here's the full schedule.
The players, the coaches, and the fans are fun to watch.
Yes, these college athletes may seem like superstars during the tournament but remember that they are college guys. They get angry, they get excited, and they jump around with their teammates on and off of the court. Their excitement is possibly one of the greatest parts of the nationally aired games. The players and coaches reacting to the game on the sidelines and on the court can be more entertaining than you’d imagine.
Oh, and if you haven’t seen it for yourself yet, fans can be craaazyyyy.
You Could Win Some Money
Of course, the 2016 tournament has already started so it’s too late to fill out a bracket now but next year go for it! Whether you want to be in a fun bracket with your friends or a giant national bracket like Quicken Loans and Berkshire Hathaway you can pay money, hand in your bracket, and anxiously watch the games to see if you win big!
*The Quicken Loans and Berkshire Hathaway contest is offering a winning incentive of one billion dollars for a perfect bracket. Don’t believe me? See for yourself!*
Support Your School
If for no other reason, watch the tournament to support your school. If you don’t go to a division one school root for your local collage team, your sisters team, your cousins team, whatever! Find the school spirit you know you have and flaunt it! The point is that, above everything else, if your school is lucky enough to make it into the tournament you should put your colors on and gather with your friends to watch the games. It will amaze some people how close a college campus can get when they're bonding over the overwhelming school spirit that comes out during this time. So whether your school is predicted to win it all, or you have a 0.3% chance to win, cheer!
