March Madness impact on Student Athletes
This. Is. March.
The field of 68 has been set for the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. Approximately 884 Student-Athletes will compete to cut down the final nets in New Orleans and Minneapolis. Moments will be created and these student-athletes will become household names. Remember Jalen Suggs’ buzzer-beater to send Gonzaga to the national championship?
How about Arike Ogunbowale’s shot in 2018 to win the title for Notre Dame? A student-athletes dream that will forever be set in stone
It's not just limited to the D-1 field, either. Just on Sunday, freshman Kobe Rodgers hit this shot to send D2 Nova Southeastern to the Sweet 16. You can see the crowd erupt as the ball funnels through the net. The Sharks were facing elimination and an end to their perfect season which now sits at 31-0 overall. Incredible moments happen everywhere.
In addition, the D3 men’s and women’s basketball tournament is currently underway with the final four play set for March 17th (women’s) and March 18th (men’s). I would not be surprised if a kid with a term paper due the next day and a part-time job hit a once and a lifetime shot.
Student-Athletes across all divisions and ability levels will have a chance to create that type of memory now and across the next month. As it pertains to the D-1 tournament, it’s their “One Shining Moment” as the credits roll and confetti falls to conclude what we’ve come to know as March Madness. In other words, it’s a dramatic recap of endless unpredictability. For many, it’s a defining mark before embarking on a career other than basketball.
