COLUMN: March Madness, a victim of the coronavirus

March is known as the month of madness in the sports world.

Although many sports are in full swing, this madness is specific, deriving from the annual 68-team NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Each year, over 800 players get the chance to compete in the madness while millions of fans at home compete in their own way by filling out a bracket and picking a winner. For the enthusiastic and maybe a little bit obsessive fan, one bracket is not quite enough.

As soon as the teams are seeded on Selection Sunday, those obsessive fans run the ink dry on their printers or, for the more technological savvy fans, run down the battery on their phones.
