March Madness traces back to Illinois' statewide high-school basketball tournament, which began in 1908. In 1939, an official with the Illinois High School Association, Henry V. Porter, penned an article called March Madness for the organization's in-house magazine.
Three years later, he punctuated his point with a poem, Basketball Ides of March, which included these lines: The Madness of March is running. The winged feet fly, the ball sails high. And field goal hunters are gunning.. In the 1940s, March Madness became the state's nickname for its basketball tournament. Then in 1977, the IHSA made it official, licensing the phrase to companies such as PepsiCo and Wilson Sporting Goods. Other states were permitted to use the name for their tournaments for a $10 fee.
