The tournament selection committee will meet on March 15 in just ten days to announce the brackets and pairings for the four regional tournament play-off sites and the world will be watching. Many Kansans will most certainly be watching with bated breath as at least 2 of the 3 Kansas NCAA Division 1A basketball programs will be invited to the big dance. It will only be a matter of which region and how high the sede will be for KU, Wichita State and hopefully K-State as well.

> Now to the bracket fund-raising pool. Here’s how it works. Each participant is asked to contribute just $5 to enter your brackets on a screenreader accessible website that was launched a number of years ago by Terry Thompson, a former computer learning lab instructor at Independence Inc. in Lawrence. Participants will predict the winners of 63 games that will be played to determine the national men’s major college basketball champion of 2015-16. The lucky winner based on point totals wil receive a free full body massage from Massage Envy, which has multiple locations in Kansas including Lawrence, the KC metro area, and Wichita. The same prize will also be awarded to the lucky person who recruits the most participants outside NFB. Members of the Jayhawk chapter are eligible for the recruitment award even if they recruit outside the chapter but within the Kansas affiliate. Members of a chapter other than Jayhawk are eligible even if you successfully recruit participants who are members from of an NFB affiliate other than Kansas. Needless to say, it can’t hurt to pass this announcement far and wide.
