📝 About March Madness 2027
Every spring, 68 college basketball teams compete in a single-elimination tournament that has earned the nickname March Madness for its tendency to produce shocking upsets and dramatic finishes. The bracket format, introduced in 1939, has become a cultural phenomenon: an estimated 60 to 100 million Americans fill out brackets each year, with offices and friend groups running pools despite the astronomical odds (roughly 1 in 9.2 quintillion) of predicting a perfect bracket. Cinderella stories like Loyola Chicago's 2018 Final Four run and UMBC's historic upset of top-seeded Virginia define the tournament's magic. Television rights for the event are worth over $1 billion annually, making it one of the most lucrative properties in American sports.
