March Madness holds special memories and meaning for me.

I was lucky enough to play on a national championship basketball team in college. Naw, we weren't big enough for NCAA; we were NAIA, but back then, more than 500 colleges belonged to that division. And as you can see from the series now being shown on ESPN, "Black Magic," some of the game's brightest stars first shone at NAIA colleges. A lot of those old NAIA schools are now D-I and D-II.
