Service Alert
The March Madness we know and love today originally did not have a name when the first NCAA tournament was played. The size of the tournament was also much smaller. In 1939, an Illinois high school official by the name of Henry V. Porter used the term 'March Madness' in reference to basketball. And even then, it wasn't until the 1982 NCAA tournament that March Madness became associated with the NCAA, with the help of Brent Musberger, who mentioned the name while covering the tournament(1).
