Obama will release March Madness brackets

President Obama will release his March Madness brackets to the public, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday.

“We will, in a transparent White House, release the president’s bracket next week,” Gibbs said.

Obama, a well known fan of basketball, will have to wait until Sunday like all other Americans to fill out his bracket.

Different conferences are playing their tournaments throughout the weekend to determine which teams will receive an automatic bid to the 65-team NCAA field, and which teams will receive an at-large bid to the tournament.
