Research by Devin and Jaren Pope, two economists, has found that colleges whose men’s basketball teams qualified for March Madness, the sport’s championship tournament, saw a 2.4% average increase in the total number of applications, as measured by the number of SAT college-entrance exam results received. Colleges whose teams made the “Final Four” saw a 5.8% increase in applications, while colleges whose teams won the entire tournament saw a 10.9% increase in applications in the year after their victory.

An 11% increase in applications in the next year would translate to a reduction in the admission rate to 3.9%.
