Bruce Springsteen, Tim McGraw and Jason Aldean playing March Madness Festival: Whose 'team' will win?

Jason Aldean wasn't satisfied just playing professional baseball stadiums during 2014. Now he, as well as even bigger names Bruce Springsteen and Tim McGraw, will take part in the NCAA's March Madness Music Festival at Reunion Park in Dallas, which will take place April 4 through 6. Aldean will play at the "AT&T Block Party" on April 4, McGraw will take the "Coke Zero Countdown Concert" on April 5, and Springsteen and the E Street Band will play April 6 as part of the "Capital One Jam Fest."

Aldean is obviously a baseball fan, based on his current choice of tour venues, and McGraw spent time as a pitcher for the minor league team Jacksonville Suns prior to entering music professionally. But now they're headlining a basketball-based event, so Music Times asks: Which of the headliners is most likely to leave Dallas happy thanks to the success of their school of choice?

McGRAW
ODDS OF BASKETBALL SUCCESS: Infinitesimally low
McGraw dabbled at a couple schools before heading to Nashville, the most likely of which to make the NCAA Tournament is Louisana-Monroe. The Warhawks should get points for a bada-- mascot, but their 9-15 record and seventh-place rank in the Sun Belt isn't promising. Yes, a conference tourney victory is possible. Remember, this school's football program beat Alabama at home in 2007. But lightning probably won't strike twice.

SPRINGSTEEN
ODDS OF BASKETBALL SUCCESS: Infinitesimally-er low
The Boss only spent a short time at college, attending Ocean County College. The Vikings are an impressive 24-3 right now, but alas they don't play in a league that qualifies for the NCAA Tournament. Look for them to perform well in the NJCAA Tournament however. Springsteen could throw himself behind New Jersey's most touted team, Rutgers, but they're 11-19 right now and not looking to qualify.

ALDEAN
ODDS OF BASKETBALL SUCCESS: Possible, not probable
Aldean never attended secondary school, but he's long been a fan of the Georgia Bulldogs. The university is 17-12, a questionable record for an at-large bid to the big dance. The Bulldogs didn't receive any AP votes last week, but they're still ranked no. 3 in the SEC at the moment. A strong run during the conference tournament (read: winning it) would secure them a spot. As NCAA fans know, anything can happen from that point.

Well, hopefully these guys enjoy themselves in Dallas. There's plenty to do that's not basketball-related anyhow.
