2016 NCAA Tournament media news: Marv Albert no longer working tournament games

With the legendary commentator shying away from the NCAA Tournament for the foreseeable future, things have just opened up.

The NCAA Tournament is only a few weeks away. Can you believe it?

With that fact in mind, it isn't surprising that we're already learning some news regarding this year's extravaganza. But it's not about the teams, it's not about the venues, no. The news that passed along the wire on Tuesday is regarding the media for the event, specifically one particular voice who will be absent this year and beyond.

On Tuesday, Marv Albert, a Hall of Fame broadcaster and one of the best out there period, past and present, signed a long-term contract extension with Turner Sports.
