Year after year, NCAA March Madness® is full of surprises, upsets and big moments for teams across the country in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. As March comes to an end and the 2012 Men’s Final Four teams have been determined, this year promises to bring fans a weekend full of excitement and incredible performances. As Kentucky, Kansas, Ohio State and Louisville compete in the Final Four for the championship, fans and companies are turning to the NCAA and its official ticket and hospitality package provider, PrimeSport, for ticket, travel and hospitality packages through the NCAA’s program titled, The NCAA Experience®.
