As several spend more time on their brackets than their business, I propose that the madness began long before March. Thus allow me to expediently utilize the madness of the hardwood to humbly offer my entrants into what has contributed to the craze of current events. Note that they are

What’s so maddening about the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament? Is it the diversity? After all, only in the 2014 bracket will you seem to find... ... Cavaliers vs. Chanticleers, Huskies vs. Hawks, and Aztecs vs. Aggies. That’s not to mention skin color... ... Bearcats vs. the color Crimson, Broncos

Somewhere over the course of my life, I was blessed with the realization that accountability is good for me. I articulate the “a-ha” in such a manner, as I’ve learned that not all adults have come to a similar awareness. Let me first add a couple of caveats:
