INDIANAPOLIS – March Madness is coming to Indianapolis. That is, all of it.
The men’s basketball committee announced Monday that the NCAA is in preliminary talks with the state of Indiana and city of Indianapolis to hold the entire 68-team national tournament in an around metro Indy. Indianapolis was already scheduled to hold the Final Four from April 3-5.
CBS Sports and Turner Sports will continue to distribute all 67 games of the tournament across TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV, according to a news release.
The announcement said it became apparent that conducting the tournament at 13 sites spread around the country “would be very difficult to execute” during the pandemic.
