March Madness trivia and interesting facts
In 1939, Henry V. Porter came up with the term “March Madness” to describe a high school basketball tournament in Illinois. Brent Musburger first used it while covering the NCAA in 1982, which led to a legal battle that was just as crazy as the playoffs.
But, eventually, everyone figured it out, and the madness became official.
There is no record of who coined the phrase “The Big Dance,” yet it accurately describes the action.
