One year after the pandemic-induced cancellation of the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament resulted in a $600 million decline in the N.C.A.A.’s revenue for 2020, March Madness is back in 2021.
This year, the entire 68-team tournament will take place in Indiana as the N.C.A.A. tries to limit travel during the pandemic.
The tournament starts Thursday with the First Four games and ends with the national title game on April 5. But first comes Selection Sunday, when the entire 68-team field will be revealed, including 31 automatic qualifiers and 37 at-large bids.
