Bracketology: March Madness, College Basketball, and the Creation of a National Obsession Free Audiobook Download by Joe Lunardi,David Smale


From a very early age, we are taught the importance of brackets. We learn the tournament, who wins what championship, how many teams make it to the sweet sixteen and beyond. But bracketology is only one part of a much larger story. It is the product of decades worth of research by David Smale and Joe Lunardi on college basketball. Their work has led us to this point in history where bracketology is how each and every person across America watches college basketball.

The NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, commonly known as March Madness, is one of the most popular sporting events in the United States. It has been around for nearly 100 years and it continues to grow in popularity year after year. In his book “Bracketology: March Madness, College Basketball, and the Creation of a National Obsession” Joe Lunardi argues that this popularity is not without good reason. He contends that college basketball is so enthralling because it captures and holds on to our collective national obsession with entertainment.

David Smale is a sportswriter at the New York Times and the author of Bracketology: March Madness, College Basketball, and the Creation of a National Obsession. In Bracketology, he chronicles in detail the history of bracketology - both its successes and failures. The book has been lauded as "a clear-eyed analysis of a phenomenon that deserves better."

In March of every year, college basketball fans eagerly await the release of projections by Joe Lunardi and his bracketology report. This projection is an amalgamation of data points and analysis that provide a prediction on whether a team will win the NCAA tournament or not. The days before the tournament start are filled with debates not only about which teams will prevail but also when they will do so. With all this action, it's no wonder that college basketball has become one of the most popular sports in the United States.

Bracketology, the annual selection of NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament predictions by Joe Lunardi, has become one of the most popular staples of March Madness. Fans from all over the country tune in to see if their favorite team will be selected as a 'sleeper,' or a team they had no chance to select but ended up making it in.

"Bracketology" is an annual tradition in the United States, where fans of college basketball and student journalists alike speculate on which teams will win each division of the NCAA Tournament. It is conducted by Joe Lunardi, a sports journalist and broadcaster, who has been predicting how teams will do in the NCAA Tournament since 1988. The best-selling audiobook Bracketology: March Madness, College Basketball, and the Creation of a National Obsession narrated by Adam Grupper was released after its release as an audio book.
