NCAA Tournament 2014: The 10 Perks Of Having A Perfect Bracket

The Perfect Bracket

Besides people growing mustaches, March is most closely related with NCAA Basketball .

If you have never completed a bracket for March Madness, you are missing out on one of the most exciting events in all of sports. You may not be a huge college basketball fan or even a basketball fan, but everyone should complete a bracket at least once in their life.

A non-basketball fan may have always wondered what the big deal was about this tournament. For starters, college basketball is filled with some of the most dedicated and hardworking athletes of any sport. Most of these student-athletes will never go on to the NBA, and you see these young players leave their heart out on the court. You may not remember the last time you saw a professional athlete actually cry after a game, but you will see plenty of joy and broken hearts in March.

You will be dominated in a fantasy football league if you do not follow the NFL, but the NCAA Tournament allows anyone a chance at picking a winning bracket. Everyone from your 12-year-old cousin, to your girlfriend who picks teams based on uniform colors has a chance to win.

This is almost the sports equivalent to a holiday, and the NCAA Tournament is like watching A Christmas Story with slightly different endings all day. It may be overwhelming if it was on every single weekend, but you are allowed to overindulge because it is only once a year.

Even with everything mentioned above, I still have not talked about the most alluring aspect of the tournament; the perfect bracket. The odds of a perfect bracket are astronomical, but every single person who fills one out has a chance to become a legend. Sure, the team you pick to win it all may be knocked out in the first round, but the idea of the perfect bracket is one of the most enticing concepts in all of sports.

If you find yourself lucky enough to have picked every single game correctly, you will have some amazing benefits to look forward to.
