Just about an hour ago the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament brackets was revealed and moments after that we were contacted by Professor DW for the first time since the Super Bowl. He informed us that we will indeed have the third consecutive Professor DW’s Bracket Challenge!
Skip Smith took home the inaugural title while RJ Wilson won last year’s contest. Will you be the next to join the list of winners?
Just like last year, you must fill out a contact form with your name, email address, and phone number to be contacted if you end up being the winner of the tournament. There is also a link to the bracket group on ESPN in which you are allowed just one entry!
You can read the full rules and terms of entry below, along with the prizes, the group password for ESPN, as well as the entry form which is required to be eligible for prizes.
Good luck to all and prepare to have your bracket busted!
