What’s (Who Is ) in Your Brackets? March Madness Hits the US! #CollegeBasketball #playoffs

What’s (or WHO) is in your brackets? Don’t understand me? I am talking College Basketball.

As a girl who graduated from UCLA, we lived and breathed (and sometimes died) for our teams playing hoops. That said, it’s enough to make you a rabid fan– or even a lukewarm one!


UCLA vs SMU

This year the competition is especially fierce and I want to hear from you who your top picks are… as well as those who you wish would be able to “pull the rabbit out of the hat” to win.

What? You won’t tell me? Tweet me @lastory and let’s make it happen! There are tons of fans on twitter and I am sure you are able to find some fans who you would feel comfortable co-watching the game via mobile or desktop. Just “Bring-it!” … this is one of the few sports that I really love. I watch pro basketball too.

WalletHub sent me this very interesting infographic. It’s smart with tons of information and insight into many parts of the March Madness series that you might not have thought about– like this

underscore the disparity between the average student athlete’s annual compensation ($120K in tuition, room and board), and that of big-time college coaches ($5M+) and NBA rookies ($1.9M).

There’s a lot more to this infographic than just that. It’s “required reading” for when you meet up with your pals and the conversation turns to the games.
