Trump suggests "backdated" March Madness bracket submission

foxnews.com

Former President Donald Trump admitted he missed the deadline to submit his March Madness bracket. He mentioned the possibility of submitting a "backdated" entry after the games had already taken place. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump acknowledged his late entry. When asked if he had completed a bracket, he said, "I didn't. I should have," and inquired about recent upsets in the tournament. He humorously added, "I can give you one but maybe backdated." The NCAA tournament has been eventful, with a tiny fraction of brackets remaining perfect. As of Friday, only 0.0044% of the 34 million entries had not been ruined, according to the NCAA. Some teams, like Ole Miss and McNeese State, caused significant disruptions in players' brackets. ESPN reported that only 1,098 out of 24 million brackets remained perfect after Ole Miss’ upset victory over North Carolina. The losses of favored teams like Clemson also had a major impact, with many brackets crashing. Overall, this year’s tournament has proven to be a challenging one for basketball fans looking for a perfect bracket.
