OK, I'm going to be honest here, college sports do nothing for me. I try to care, I really do, but I just don't. Now, I've attended quite a few games at the Naval Academy, which was quite a bit of fun, and when I do watch college basketball, I tend to root for the Terps (being from Maryland and all) but I don't have the same emotional connection with college sports that I do with professional, though in fairness I should point out that I follow the NBA rather passively.
You may be wondering why I'm putting something regarding college sports on my page if I have no interest in it. Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. As such, I will admit that I am in the minority in regards to my view on college sports and grant it awesome status despite said view.
March Madness is basically the nickname for the Division 1 tournament. As there are several games, most of them between fierce rivals, it makes for great viewing. While no one openly condones gambling, a lot of people do put money on their bracket picks to add some spice to the experience.
While college sports may not hold the same appeal for me as professional, its popularity is proof that they are doing something right. With hype, rival matches, and more games than you can shake a stick at, college basketball fans get more than their fill come spring when everything comes to a head. I can't speak for them, but I imagine that they wouldn't have it any other way.
