March Madness is back. Say it again, now: March Madness is back.
This is different from previous iterations, certainly. COVID-19 will not make it too grand, with fan presence limited. But for the first time in two years, the NCAA will be back in business to win the national champion’s crown in the single-largest postseason at the American Games.
And that year when the ball tips off in Indiana, it will all come to an end; As the saying goes, you do not realize that you will miss something until it is gone.
