You do realize that "March Madness" is trademarked by the NCAA, and as the owner of a trademark you're required to monitor the use of anything similar to your trademark, and protect it by filing these types of suits? If you fail to do so, you can lose the trademark.

So, yeah, this is not only normal, but is actually required by the USPTO.

NCAA is so money hungry. They already make millions off of unpaid athletes, but lets still sue Barstool for Barch Madness. What a joke of an organization

I might have sympathy if it wasn't Barstool. I don't hate Barstool, but the followers are creepy little dweebs who treat it like a religion

Parody is a legitimate use under the trademark law. That's exactly what this is....
