March. It’s just another month for a lot of people, but for sports fans around the world, it’s one of the best months of the year. March is the time of year when so-called basketball pundits are “too sick” to go to work, or when people plan vacations with their buddies to fill out their March Madness brackets that are going to bust in the first round.
But how many people are planning “bracket vacations” or calling out sick from work to watch the NIT Tournament? If I had to guess, I’d say not many. A lot of people think the NIT doesn’t even matter.
