Once again I set out to answer the age old question: What if the NCAA tournament wasn’t settled by basketball wins, but each school’s most famous alumnus?
Which 2019 NCAA tournament team has the best alum?
Who will cut down the nets when it comes to fame and fortune?
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
After poring over the list of each school’s most famous attendees, I believe I have worked out a fool-proof method for picking the NCAA Champion that is a mix of chalk, upsets, and shocks that will probably lose you the bracket, but at least you had fun in the process.
It starts with the First Four:
NC Central — Phonte
North Dakota State — Carson Wentz
Belmont — Brad Paisley
Temple — Bob Sagat
Fairleigh Dickinson — Peggy Noonan
Prarie View A&M — Mr. T
Arizona State — Jimmy Kimmel
St. Johns — J. Cole
THE FULL BRACKET
A few notes on this bracket:
- Every year y’all yell at me over who I chose for your school. Stop.
- That is all.
- I love you. Sorry I got mad about that first one.
