First, this listing is not “All Inclusive” of the numerous blank NCAA Tourney brackets available for sports fans this year. It’s simply a representative listing of resources available for free for sports fans who want to print a blank tourney bracket either before or after the Selection Sunday broadcast. So that we don’t appear to be on the “Yahoo Bandwagon” due to the Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge, I have left Yahoo Sports off of the list, but they have an equivalent offering to what you will find on the other major websites.
