A study found the average March Madness fan will dedicate a full day-and-a-half of their life to it this year . . . 36 total hours.
That includes 3 hours filling out brackets . . . 13 hours watching games . . . 5 hours of highlights . . . 5 hours discussing it with friends and family . . . 5 hours reading about it online . . . and 3 hours placing bets.
It also found 26% of people who are obsessed with March Madness have skipped work to watch a game before . . . 76% have a favorite team they’re pulling for . . . and 30% plan to pick them to win the whole thing. So, pretty optimistic.
The average fan won’t lose hope until their team is down 19 points in the second half.
