This tournament, we’re also introducing something new. We’re thrilled that a group of promising young men from Chicago will represent the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance in New Orleans for the men’s Final Four—job shadowing the folks at Turner Sports and receiving invaluable, hands-on experience.

So while you’re enjoying elite college athletes on the court, think about the opportunity these young men will have to learn from the skilled production crews and operations personnel making it all happen off the court.
