FX picks up "March to Madness"

FX has picked up a new sports drama, "March to Madness," a series about the good and bad of college basketball. The story will center around a college basketball coach that has had to compromise some of his character and integrity in order to remain competitive in the sport. Don Cheadle and Dave Miller are producing while Joel Silverman is the writer. Silverman should know what he's writing about since he spent several years as a sports journalist, covering ACC basketball for outlets such as the Washington Post. Meanwhile, Dave Miller's career includes serving as an assistant basketball coach at USC, Arizona State and Texas. Cheadle is also a big college hoops fan and a terrific actor. So, it seems these guys have both the inside knowledge of college basketball and the talent to put together a good show. Time will tell.
