[uwlwsrpm]

Boston University @ Ohio vs. Duke Intramural Squad

Philadelphia State vs. Tyler Hansbrough Fan Club

Universidad De Las Americas vs. Kitchen Academy

Full Sail University vs. Bosnian Church University

LOL.

[Synicaalescape]

LOL! I love how he says "But they still have a talented core" as he shoots an air ball.

[Xboy323]

I MISS THE STEAM ROOM

[thatsmybriefcase]

"Couldn't get over that five win hump" LOL

[lukeiamyourfaja]

i love this idea the new bracket made me lmao

[gamerunknown]

I'm from England, aren't the NCAA meant to help black students choose college degrees?

[MosTagarta3]

@gamerunknown

Maybe you're thinking about the NAACP.

[Dragon45348]

My bracket would fuck ya'll up!

[djtrixen]

1:31 LOL nice shot...

[xNIKEGOLFx]

BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED! LMFAO

[jamieblond1]

This Steam Room report really steamed me up. How will I have enough time to follow all those games?

Whew.....I need a cold totally naked shower to cool off.

[DylanMachinima]

@jamieblond1 You normally shower not fully naked?

[jamieblond1]

@DylanMachinima Only if the lock on the bathroom door is broken (*_~)

[Issaquan5]

The online university of liverpool hahahahha

[TheMegaboom5]

go Arkansas-Fort Smith

[MrMarvincible]

Lol test positive for baby.

[phillyeagles217]

lmao

National Championship JUNE 30

[captaincrunch024]

I would be not surprised AT ALL if this really happened.

[nasaguy]

My team's a shoo-in for the tremendous 256!!

[cobalt100]

College basketball and football. What a racket. Coaches get paid 500,000 dollars for 5 months coaching. And the players get nothing. Oh well, once a slave, always a slave.

[nasaguy]

... Unless said player is actually good; then he turns pro after college and makes more money than any coach ever dreamed of. And if not, at least he had fun.

If he WASN'T having fun ... why was he playing?

[Randy3140]

This is an Onion classic. What do you want to bet that the NCAA would still want to tack on four 'Play-In' games? LMAO.

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

Don't worry. By my calculations you will only have to win 12 rounds to be the champion.

[ngarcia103]

Did you see the 512-513 matchup in the East region today? It finished with a thrilling score of 6-5 in DOUBLE OVERTIME!

(this comment is based on an elementary school basketball game that actually did finish that way)

[787brewcrew]

Madison police acadmy going to the wonderful 2,048

[11215142615]

"I wouldn't be surprised to see 'em in the Fantastic 512 or even the Tremendous 256!" Lmao!!!

[SMacUSC14]

i cant wait to see if someone gets a 100% correct bracket

[acenace24]

@SMacUSC14

ESPN will probably have Obamas bracket on tv so we have to watch him pick all the games

[polster5051]

damn just got the news we will not be making the tourny we were ranked 4097th well there is always next year

[scholzpdx]

Sounds crazy, but if you won 11 games in a row, you win the tourney!

[salamisumo2]

The scary part is how realistic it sounds.

[SashaNein]

Even with 4096 teams, you just know the Missouri Valley Conference will still get hosed with 1 bid. Northern Iowa is effectively shit-listed for what they did to Kansas, joining the shit-list ranks with Missouri State, Bradley, and Wichita State.

[Dragon45348]

4096... there goes making multiple brackets...

[PinkRavager]

"He graduated and became a barber" lolololol

[zachattack1490]

this is so awesome, haha

[sexykatie911]

TheOnion m.sn in profile 

[jesusthroughmary]

637 wouldn't play 678. 637 would play 388, and 678 would play 347.

[TheCrawler333]

I can't wait to see Everest college's roster.

[metsbeltran]

HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOULL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN THIS DONT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY SEND THIS TO OVER 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CUZ IT IT ACTUALLY WORKS

[BOBTrailblazers]

102 people attend Oxnard California's Advanced Truck Driving School

[ChrisBurr555555]

4096? good grief, that is way way too many, 128 is enough!

[soundersfan90]

@ChrisBurr555555 You're being sarcastic right?

[DESERTEAGLE1970]

FANTASTIC 512.  LOL

[razweasel]

I love how they cut to "xenon's star player" and he airs it

LOL

[adamjr29]

Oxnard California"s advanced truck driving school LOL i totally laughed my ear plugs off. They missed registration day too.

[TheVirtualStoa]

@bakerandbaker1 TL;DR

[SirFatso5]

@bakerandbaker1

Actually, 4096 is 2^12.

[bakerandbaker1]

Oops, my bad. Sorry.

[soundersfan90]

@bakerandbaker1 You're an idiot. 4,096 is an even number so it is a multiple of two. 4,096-2,048-1,024-512-256-128-­64-32-16-8-4-2. Did you graduate from high school? Or even jr. high? Nice attempt to sound smart. (that last sentence was sarcastic just in case you missed it)

[bakerandbaker1]

Sorry. I think I may have doubled or squared each number. 

[jesusthroughmary]

@bakerandbaker1 If you had 32,768 games without play-in games, you'd have to have 32,769 teams, which is not a multiple of two.

Also, 4,096 is 64 squared.

[SAIL4323]

@bakerandbaker1

Did you hear that? The whole world is facepalming right now. Apologize to your 3rd grade teacher for not knowing that any whole number ending in 6 is a multiple of two. If you make that silly error, then how can anyone trust the other data in your post to be true?

[bakerandbaker1]

The Steam Room is a total ripoff of the Sportscenter set! I smell a lawsuit!

[1997goblue]

lol the brackets there are so many xenon int'l school of hair design is my pick for the final 4

[Badassdude1234]

Fred's Bartending School

Gambling Academy of Necada

Hope Bible Shcool

Kitchen Academy

These are the serious underdogs in this tournament

[crowtservo]

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually gets to this some day.

[UofLCardFan08]

This is the only way Northwestern will ever get in.

[natemorey]

when that thing zoomed out to show them all I just burst out laughing XD

[Mika20]

OMG Go BVU!!!!

[ccricers]

Westwood College coach: "Hey guys, finished practice yet? I have another set of plays I want you to go through"

Basketball players sitting on the bleachers: "We just finished drill no. 3 and need to tighten up the defense a little bit."

[TimeQueenofRome]

NCAA is soon planning on expanding March Madness to include 12,345 teams.

[stoopkid80]

WHERE'S OREGON SCHOOL OF SHAMWOW TESTERS?

[ngarcia103]

"stoopkid80": They're the 918 in the Midwest. They're playing against (107) The Slap Chop Injury Specialist School.

[royalfrenchfrie24]

[Apathy0092001]

"Watch out for Eckert, they have a full roster & they're having practices"

LMAO!!! Shit is fuckin hilarious!

[PerogieBoy714]

ha ha ha ha ha ha hah

[dmyankees24]

i don't think the fightin' barbers have any chance of making it to the fantastic 512.

[chitownmo]

forget just having a ncaa naia juco and trade teams. why not make it all acadmeic insitutions. high school. preps schools, middle schools. snap even grade schools. pre schools a true amateur national championship of the ages FOR all ages. would love western career college against devry in tremendous 256. or PS 24 from New York versus benjamin franklin elementary school from weehauken new jersey in the fabulous 500.

[chitownmo]

Brilliant segment. This should to every college hoops analyst and media personality.

[kbubb13]

haha 500 games a day-june madness

[MattInTheHat]

I think Obama would need an entire second cabinet to fill out that bracket.

Ambassador of the East Regional's Upper Lower Portion.

[blaxican20]

[ngballer]

LOL me to

[texano123]

1:11 Anhembi Morumbi - they even included a brazilian college!

[ccricers]

[costanza187]

I so wish that I could meet a woman who turns me on as much as the Onion does. She would be my one and only and I would love her forever. It would be so close that it would almost be incestuous and I would love her for it.

[costanza187]

Oxnard!!!! - fuck yes!!! I so love the Onion!!!

[SkilesASMB]

Bad move for the NCAA in my opinion. So many great teams are left out. I've said from the beginning that it should be bumped to 8,192 team.

[FatherElectric]
