Ignore the Haters—March Madness Is Alive and Well In Spite of Transfers and NIL

This is an opinion/analysis piece that defends March Madness against critics concerned about player transfers and NIL deals, taking a contrarian stance against reform advocates without citing opposing substantive sources or data. The framing centers on dismissing 'haters' rather than engaging seriously with structural concerns, while the sidebar commentary (tournament expansion is 'terrible,' enjoy baseball 'while you can') reflects libertarian-leaning skepticism of institutional change and preferences for tradition—consistent with Reason's center-right editorial perspective.
