The term was apparently first used by the Illinois High School Association. And the IHSA sued a few years ago for the copyright laws or exclusive right for this game. The NCAA put out a video game called “March Madness” back in the mid to late 90s and the IHSA sued to have them remove the name from the game or give them money for the use of the term.
