Millions of Americans soon will be filling out brackets and cheering their teams as the March Madness of the 2015 NCAA men’s basketball tournament sweeps the nation. But hoops junkies know it’s about more than just X’s and O’s: Men’s basketball teams at NCAA schools generated total revenues of over $1.6 billion last year.
