The Top 25 March Madness-Obsessed Colleges

March Madness NCAA Basketball Northern Iowa Missouri Valley Conference

By Mike Dang

March Madness is back! Bundle set out to determine how 25 colleges stacked up with their March Madness obsessions, and rather than blindly determining who's more bursting with pride (trust us, they're all equally spirited), we decided to put the money where their mouths are.

We dove into our data and examined which colleges were spending more at bars, restaurants, and travel (to possibly see the games live) during the first two weeks of the tournament, the amount the college spends on its basketball program and the amount of revenue the program hauled in last year per undergraduate student, and average attendance for each of the basketball games last year. Here are our rankings.
