Only NCAA corporate champions and partners are authorized to use tickets in advertising, marketing or promotional activities (e.g., giveaways). Please refrain from any direct or indirect usage of the NCAA’s championships, tickets or marks/logos unless and until you have obtained the prior written consent of the NCAA and specifically corporate alliances staff. Federal regulations support the NCAA’s efforts to prohibit the unauthorized use of the NCAA’s name and trademarks (including the Final Four and March Madness) or any use of NCAA championship tickets in sweepstakes, promotions or contests, or any other unfair attempt to associate with or exploit the goodwill of any NCAA championship event.  This includes a prohibition against the display of any commercial identification within an NCAA championship bracket.
