Abstract
The home advantage is a commonly accepted truth throughout sports performances. This paper investigates the magnitude of the home advantage among NCAA Men’s Basketball teams. It will then look to draw relationships between the magnitude of the home advantage and community aspects such as attendance, location, past program success, and social media presence. Univariate and Multivariate models will be investigated.
