March Madness

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

March Madness is an immense soap opera/basketball game held by CBS each March, mainly to give the stars of their regular programming a month off. Starting around St. Patrick's Day, the network's sports analysts travel to colleges across America, broadcasting One on One games between drunken Greeks and undersized Nerds nonstop. The action lasts for nearly a month, or until the CBS stars return from their breaks.
