About this listen

Throughout the NCAA Tournament’s history, underdogs, Cinderella stories, and upsets have captured the attention and imagination of fans. Making March Madness is the story of this premiere tournament, from its early days in Kansas City, to its move to Madison Square Garden, to its surviving a point-shaving scandal in New York and taking its games to different sites across the country.

Chad Carlson’s analysis places college basketball in historical context and connects it to larger issues in sport and American society, providing fresh insights on a host of topics that listeners will find interesting, illuminating, and thought-provoking.

The book is published by The University of Arkansas Press. The audiobook will be published by University Press Audiobooks.

“A well-written and entertaining addition to the tomes on the rise of college basketball to become today’s March Madness. (Journal of Sport History)

“Informative and enjoyable...will be of use to scholars and aficionados alike.” (Murry Nelson, author of Big Ten Basketball, 1943-1972)

“An engaging listen.” (Choice)
