*This is a research paper done for my English class, debating the pros and cons of giving college athletes compensation for their hard work from a neutral perspective. There are more than 460,000 NCAA student-athletes in the United States, and their games are watched and loved by millions. However, while…
If you choose (for whatever reason) to use these picks, and they end up horrible, please don’t blame me! No matter how many hundreds of hours I spend watching games and researching, I never end up with a great bracket…I’m usually really good in the first round, and then after…
The tournament starts in less than two days, and by the end of the weekend, we will undoubtedly have seen upsets that will leave us scratching our heads. Just as certain I am that a few powerhouses will brought down by big underdogs, I can also tell you…

This is a quick update to let everyone know my plans for March Madness this year. Simply put, it’s going to be crazy. Starting today and going through the day before March Madness starts (Mar. 18), I will be posting something college basketball themed EVERY DAY. I know…
