Let’s be real. March Madness is, hands down, the most exciting sporting event in the United States. (Yes, I know what the Super Bowl is). The excitement of the NCAA basketball tournament should be enough to push consideration for a football playoff of the same hype, but that’s a different story.
From a student standpoint, the amount of times I wasn’t paying attention in class because I was attempting to fill out my bracket would give my parents a heart attack. It gives us an excuse to spend three straight days a week watching sports, not doing homework and watching teams fight for the national title. Most people participate in a pool trying to win money predicting the outcomes of games, so the WJ Pitch staff felt it was only necessary to hold the first annual WJ Pitch Bracket Challenge. Here are the brackets, and stay tuned every week to see the standings.
